ATOMSHIP LYRICS

1. Day Of Daze

Proven in theory your heart can be lost by the brain
Staring hard forward the devils just out of frame
Mother where are you I loved you I'm right here
Twisting and turning and loving and breading your hair

It was a good day
She died
It was a good day to die and run from the night
It was a good day to die
She died

Help me I'm wasting my heart has been lost by the brain
Covered in ashes and dust might just pump through your veins
Father where are you I thought you were my friend
Well I'll be your mother your Mary your Jesus and Zen

It was a good day
She died
It was a good day to die and run from the night
It was a good day to die
She died

With her head this close to the floor
I feel so alive!

She died
It was a good day to die and run from the night
It was a good day to die
She let me die old
She died
Just let me die old
She died

2. Mothra

Mothra versus the world
Let's play
Mothra versus the world
Let's play!

I know she drowned me as we danced away
I felt that was pure blood dripping away
I thought he would have lived as he passed away

MOTHRA!

I know he loved you as we turned away

Mothra versus the world
Let's play
Mothra versus the world
Let's play!

3. Dragonfly

Driving round in your car
The thoughts are piled up very, very far
Didn't know the time
Did happen to read the last three mile moccasins
A bright flash of light flashed before my eyes
Along with the centipedes, the birds and the dragonfly

But did you know
I loved you more than I could ever show
And did you know
There's something deep inside you that would fail to grow
And did you see that
Sometimes I'm beside of me
And did you know
The tales of the dragonfly?

Driving round in my car
I look up just the time to see I've gone too far
And while I will
You're not here come back where you're supposed to be
I miss you hair, my yelling to the passing man beneath your stairs
He stares at me, well, see while he wants to decide

But did you know
I loved you more than I could ever show
And did you know
There's something deep inside you that would fail to grow

And did you see that
Sometime I'm beside of me
And did you know
The tales of the dragon?
oh my dragonfly

You'll come crashing down, bleeding me and holding me down
I think I like it
You'll come crashing down, bleeding me and holding me down
I think I like it

You'll come crashing down
You'll come crashing down!

But did you know
I loved you more than I could ever show
And did you know
There's something deep inside you that would fail to grow
And did you see that
Sometime I'm beside of me
And did you know
The tales of the dragonfly?

You're my dragonfly

4. Pencil Fight

This life spreads like cancer
As nothing here is real
Leave me here by the bus stop
With my pencil made of steel
So it's time
It's just time

Well I'm not much for the classroom
Teacher teach me if you care
I can't pay much attention with that ruler in your hand
So it's time,
'Cause I'm thinking, pencil fight, here we are
Pencil fight, break me down

It's just time
It's just time

I'm not much for the school yard
Teacher catch me if you can
Leave me here by the swing set with my pencil broke in hand
Oh it's fine

Shattered shards of graphite as they're flying through the air
I'll open eyes quite slowly with the splinters in my hair

So it's time
So it's time
'Cause I'm thinking, pencil fight, break me down
Pencil fight, break me down

It's just time
Oh my, oh my

"In this world no one leaves alone
For the only way we leave is in death
And in death my friends ya leave with one thing
And that one thing is pride
And pride throughout changes in time
Between the sky that you love to the ground that you hate.
Pride between everything that once was your pride,
Can never die."

Pencil fight, here we are
Pencil fight, break me down

Don't you see we have problems here? Problems here at my home

5. Withered

Because it's two in the morning
And I'm feeling so ugly
I've got this chip on my shoulder
Keeps my eyes spread wide open

If you'd let me go.
Then I'd walk myself into the room, yes I will.
Then I'd lay right down and daydream of you, yes I will.
With this soul tell smile I'll blow a kiss to you, yes I will.
Then I'd lay right down and daydream of you.

It seems the sun is still sleeping
And I'm feeling so lonely
There's a girl in my bedroom
But don't you worry she's not breathing

If you'd let me go
Then I'd walk myself into the room, yes I will
Then I'd lay right down and daydream of you, yes I will
With this soul tell smile I'll blow a kiss to you, yes I will
Then I'd lay right down and daydream of you

And though your soul's been withered and wisped away
My grey matter brings me home
And though your soul's been withered and wisped away
Your grey matter brings you home

So I' walk myself into the room, yes I will
Then I'd lay right down and daydream of you, yes I will
With this soul tell smile I'll blow a kiss to you, yes I will
Then I'd lay right down and daydream of you

Because it's two in the morning and my eyes are spread wide open

6. Agent Orange

This is how you hold your American flag
This is how you hold your American flag
So this is how you hold your patri-fucking-otic flag
We're all a bunch of fucking disgraces

There sits an old man he's waiting and typing and paying his tax to the law
I see him through the window sill
There you are laughing and joking and waiting and praying for life to be free
And I know that you mean him well

Losing track of days
Staring to sky
As the old man yells

There she lies bleeding and crying and wasting life on a bed she has only mad
And I know she would have done him well
Stands up anger and walks to the doorway where he can yell clearly at me.
And I'm not sure I know what he means.

Losing track of days
Staring to sky
As the old man yells
Losing track of days
Staring to sky
As the old man dies

This is how you hold your American fucking, fucking flag
This is how you hold your funny little flag

As the old man dies
As the old man dies
Losing track of days
As the old man dies

7. Time For People

I found no people for killing time
So I found time for killing people
I found no rhythm I would rhyme
So I'm the rhythm for the people

And if you wait on me
I'll be free one day
And if you wait on me
I'll be free one day

Contemplating genocide
Upstairs waving, scared of people
Afraid that feeling hasn't died
It gets lonely for my people
And if you wait on me
I'll be free one day
And if you wait on me
I'll be free one day
And if you wait on me
I'll be free one day
And if you wait on me
I'll be free one day

People always drifting out of pain
They cannot hold onto nothingness
Fingers bleed on the concrete walls
leaving only one nail for someone to see
Only one nail screaming to me
so many fingers pointing at me
so many fingers pointing at me
so many fingers pointing at me

I found no people for killing time
so I found time for killing people
I found no people for killing time
so I found time for killing people
Killing people, killing people, killing people

8. Aliens

I am the alien
Sitting on my front porch step
Whittling without a care
Sitting in this rocking chair

I believe
Alien
I am the alien

We are the aliens
Standing here with our hands down
Whittling without a care
Sitting by this rocking chair

We are the aliens

Sitting and waiting and waiting and watching and watching and waiting cause I am the alien
Wishing and hoping and hoping and praying and praying and hoping that we are the aliens
Hold me down to the floor
Chains and whips you wish for more
Hold me down to the floor
'Cause we are the aliens

9. Whitfield

Whole, wide, world

There's a man outside and he's screaming that the elephants are trampling
Trampling his father in his sleep
There's a girl outside and she's screaming that the world's on fire
On fire today

There's a man inside and he's screaming for his noon time pills
At nine a.m.
There's a girl outside who's screaming at the whole wide world
One hair at a time

I'm trying so hard to keep my eyes still
Against the whole wide world
To make her love me
Whitfield was my world today
Love me
Against the whole wide world, cause she won't love me
Whitfield was my world

There's a man inside and he's screaming that his father
Was never there
There's a girl outside who's screaming at the whole wide world
One day out of time
There's a boy inside and he's holding a picture gun
To his head
There's a girl outside who's screaming that the world's on fire
on fire today

I'm trying so hard to keep my eyes still
Against the whole wide world, to make her love me
Whitfield was my world
Whole, wide, world, wide, world, wide, world, wide! [x3]

Against the whole wide world, to make her love me
Whitfield was my world today
Love me
Against the whole wide world, cause she won't love me
Whitfield was my world

The world's on fire...

10. Friends

"Hey momma!"
"Can't you see I'm fuckin' cookin'?!"

It wasn't right for me but I knew it was time for home
And it was half past ten but all the lights were on
Did you read his face as blank as it was
Well mother would sit him down as strictly where he was

And he said:
All my friends, are bloating and floating away

I left all my friends back around the bend
The water turned to black as the night rolled on in
I couldn't hear a sound as I slowly turned around
There I saw my friends all god damn face down

And he said:
All my friends, are bloating and floating away

And I walk on down, I don't feel the pain
And I'll raise my eyes
Won't you let me raise my eyes?
Momma let me raise my eyes?
Won't you let me raise my eyes again?

All my friends, are bloated and floating away.

11. Plastic People

Time entails the sun to hesitate, clinging on and off again
Picture all the children as they walk on by clean into the front yard
Falling in and out of sync with him in the ground, I see
Promises I have broken, shadows creep along the window

The window sill, drowned by the rain
Swallow the pill, it kills the pain

Freeze frame capture it
The stars fell from the sky
In my hands they pulsate
Into the night they're shattered on the front line
The devil knows where they hide
Into the ground he passes by
And the lineage dies
before I may get home

The window sill, drowned by the rain
Swallow the pill, it kills the pain

Plastic people, paint the skies
Plastic people, paper skies

In my hands they pulsate

The window sill, drowned by the rain
Swallow the pill, it kills the pain.

Plastic people, paint the skies
Plastic people, paper skies
