HORSE THE BAND LYRICS

1. Birdo

Ahhhhhhh!!!!
Eeeeeegggss!!!!!!!
Bird..... OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
The geek, with no beak:
He's so weak he cannot speak!
The geek, with no beak:
He's so weak he cannot speak!
Vestigial wings
And dwarven legs.
A semper fi cranium
That's got automatic eggs.
His gaping maw
Is geared to spew.
He just might be a she
So Birdette will do!!
Go eat your eggs!
Force fed, force fed.
Go eat your eggs!
Out of his mouth-
Straight at your head!!
With purple pants,
(They start to tear)
I reach out with all my might to
Poke out an eye.
I poke out an eye!
I poke out an eye!
My seven year old smile:
Vanishing!
Eggs,
Why eggs?!
It's breaking my heart.
It's hurting my nose.
It's turning my skin green!
Why did you have to be so mean?!
In my dreams I despise you
More than you'll ever know.
Even when I speak your name
It makes me fucking choke!
Bird...... YAYAYAYAYAYAYA!!!
Bird......
Throw it back!
Throw it back!
Throw it back!
Throw it back!
Throw it back!
Throw it back!
Throw it back!
Throw it back!

2. A Million Exploding Sunds

I've forgotten who I am I'm
Sick and weak and fresh from sleep
I crawl from a crooked bed
With dirty feet and shaky hands
The numbers on the clock read
One-one-four-oh ay em
I've got time to clean myself
Then sell my soul again
When I sleep I dream
I dream I am awake
Or was it when awake
I dream I am asleep
I work I shit I eat I sleep
I'm inspected by the number seven
This can't be my life
No this isn't me
I don't know whats beset this change
I barely recognize my own face
In my mind something's just not right
But in my heart I'm bathed in golden light
Bathed in GOLDEN LIGHT!
Bathed in a GOLDEN LIGHT
My eyelids still heavy my pulse still faint
I'm puzzle pieces- my memory's stained
I feel strength swell a day dream
I'm shaking under this duality
My pulse is still faint
I hear a strange voice but know what it's saying
AND IN THIS MOMENT
Seconds stop and I BURST with clarity
A weath of love and hate-- gone blank
For I finally remember MY FUCKING NAME!
I EAT ROCKS
AND I BREATHE WIND
IVE BEEN AROUND THE WORLD
AND BACK AGAIN
I've lost the static
And the grey is gone
I've got the power of
A MILLION EXPLODING SUNS!!
I AM CONSUMED BY MY MIGHT
BLINDED IN LIGHT AS I WOULD BE IN NIGHT
THIS VOID IS HOLDING ME TIGHT
IT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT
When will I ever break FREE
Within or without I'm chained by the dream
THE VOID IS HOLDING ME TIGHT
IT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT
When will I ever break FREE
Within or without I'm chained by the dream
The void and the light are both me
IT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT
Now bright lights flood my eyes
It's true I realize
The perilous truth of a perilous life
By my own device
The strength of my high is the strength of my low
Unless theres no me
They both
THEY BOTH EXPLODE

3. Manateen

I feel like I'm becoming
A butterfly
Or a golden bee
My smiles like razor blades
When I smile it cuts bloody deep
My body is in the magazines
My face on the TV
My voice on the radio
That's me in my dreams
But when I open my eyes
I see I'm a piece of SHIT!
A WORTHLESS COWARD
A VAPID WHORE
A MORAL-LESS REFUGEE
COVERED IN SORES
A BLITHERING SEA COW
LOST IN ITS DREAMS
NOBODY LIKES ME, YEAH
NOBODY WANTS ME AT ALL
NOBODY LIKES ME, YEAH
Wet blue world-- it fills me up
I find I'm deep inside
Waves crash and I breathe water
But I haven't died
I won't come up
I won't come up for air
I won't come up
I won't come up for air
.....and beneath the waves
I hide my head in darker waters
And nobody sees
.....I cut myself
And hope to draw you in
But even sharks pass by
Someone please explain
All alone I'm growing colder
Laughter like cancer over my shoulder
Mirrors like hatchets to the wound of my face
You know I'm a complete.....
I'M A COMPLETE DISGRACE
I'M NOT A MANATEEN
I'M NOT A MANATEEN
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE
.....and beneath the sea
I give up and I descend
And I'm finally free
...and in the end
Wet blue world-- fills me up
Fills me deep inside
Waves crash and I breathe water
But I haven't died
NEVER
WITH FURIOUS POISON IN MY HEART
WILL I RETURN FROM THE DARKER WATERS
I LET THE TIDE TEAR ME APART
NEVER
WITH FURIOUS POISON IN MY VEINS
WILL I RETURN FROM THE DARKER WATERS
I WONT HOLD MY BREATH AND WAIT FOR CHANGE
I DIE
IT'S A SUICIDE
MY BODY SWALLOWED BY THE DEEP BLUE ABYSS
AND INTO THE ENDLESS TIDE
I won't come up
I won't come up
I won't come up for air tonight
I won't come up
I won't come up
I won't come up for air tonight
Cold
And all alone
I held my own
But now I give up

4. The House Of Boo

Lights out -- shadows bloom
Crawling hands slide to me -- across a midnight room
I fear my blankets may not be the best
Defenses that I could muster
Still the cold beyond is like lizard claws
Crawling from the hereafter
Silent things scream and silent things BANG
Still the room is still but I'm filled with a cold
I'M TERRIFIED!!!
I'M TERRIFIED!!!
I'M TERRIFIED!!!
I'M TERRIFIED!!!
Pause cold I'm alone
I pick up the phone
But I fear
That it's been disconnected
I don't even check
Because I hear a breath
....and I know
This is the end of me.
...........I'm going to hell.
A silent scream it whispers free from me
My mouth is dry my eyes are wide
I'm statuesque - I'm petrified
The room is BLACK !!!
My mind is RED!
I'm alone in my room
.....but there's someone in my head!
HUNGRY HANDS HAUNT ME IN THE NARROW OF THE NIGHT
AND I'M SHAKING, BEGGING, for a precious night - light because..
I'M TERRIFIED
I'M TERRIFIED
I'M TERRIFIED
I'M TERRIFIED!!!!!!!!!
What should I do when the nightmares come true?
The lampshades have faces and the closets are cruel
Gasp and TREMBLE ---- weep and DROOL
Dawns glorious light-- a stale recourse
I'm the empty cup --- I'm still seeing stars
Well that's all right-
It's like I'm already there
Seven dawns UP seven moons DOWN
I'll get to sleep some night soon
That's all right -
It's like I'm already there

5. Heroes Die

[Instrumental]

6. Softer Sounds

The sheep ----- tonight they weep
FEAR ----- for the feeding
GASP ------ clutched in groups
No they don't
No they don't hope

[x2]
These poor sheep tonight they weep
Begging for death but they settle for sleep
Sound of grinding metals always looming near by
Their bodies are caged and now so are their minds
Ooh. these trembling things
These poor sheep cant lay their heads down.......
(no dreams of softer sounds)
Blood is in the mud
Trampled by hooves
That constantly shake
And nervously move
No hope or ambition
They stay with the group
These filthy fucking animals
They're just like you
Animals
Were animals
Animals
Were animals
Animals
Were animals
And in the twilight swoon
Under an empty moon
The creatures stop their shake
And plan a quick escape
They're dancing on barbwire
Fraught with curdled screams
Messy skins and messy fluids
Pave a road to golden dreams
They move in a frenzy
Across their mothers backs
Out into the open
They don't look back
SOUNDS. it rots their minds - leaves them blind
NO DREAMING OF SOFTER
SOUNDS. it rots their brains - drives them insane
NO DREAMING OF SOFTER
SOUNDS. it rots their minds - leaves them blind
NO DREAMING OF SOFTER
SOUNDS. it rots their brains - drives them insane
NO DREAMING OF SOFTER SOUNDS
NO DREAMING OF SOFTER SOUNDS
NO DREAMING OF SOFTER SOUNDS

7. Octopus On Fire

Right now, in the heat of my head
A flower blooms that was already dead
Decembers long gone
But these fields are forever frozen
......and everything she said
Burns in the back of my head
Quick-sands of silver
Under dreams still glittering golden
All along I sing this song
It runs wild like a river inside
A voice cries out sharp words of doubt
If I take them to heart they make me bleed
Everyday my attention strays
Light like life it fades away
The clock it ticks
I turn my back
I feel the surface bulge and crack....
Tick tick tock tick tock tick tick tick tock tick tock tick
SLAM!
I WANT THE CHANNNNGGGEE
I FEEL THE CHANNNNNNGGGEE
Then post-metamorphosis where do the answers lie
One above and one below with lions locked inside
Then in silence they turn the key
Setting all those lions free
Then I hold my head up higher and higher
Reach out tentacles to every desire
I faced the sea and its time for a change
I am an octopus in flames
Sinking underwater
Sweating boiling getting hotter
Bubbles burst between my fingers
My breath is cracked and drawn
Sinking like an anvil
And facing several tentacles
My eyes go black and pop red cherries
The surface me is gone
GONE
I'M GONE
GONE
I'M GONE
GONE
I'M GONE
GONE
I'M GONE
I'm mesmerized -- a servant to the light u cant deny it
With everyone standing here
I'm a million miles away
A change

8. Soaring Quails

[Instrumental]

9. Taken By Vultures

Taken by vultures, swooped down to the raping
Stolen by relentless talons
Taken by vultures, swooped down to the kill
Stolen by relentless talons
ABANDON with reckless ABANDON with reckless
ABANDON with reckless ABANDON
TAKE ME
TAKE ME
TAKE ME
TAKE ME
Weak ----- and BLOOD RED
From a broken beak
Here comes the sound of dusty wings
Hungry for dead things
SLAVES!
Masturbate to a single note
TAKEN BY VULTURES!
TAKEN BY VULTURES!
Taken by vultures, taken by vultures
Taken by vultures, taken by vultures
Taken by vultures, taken by vultures
Taken by vultures, taken by vultures

10. A Rusty Glove

TINKER tinker PLING - DING, DING - DING
My body breaks - the void screams
Weary of hollow metals
That ring of hollow life
By hand and by hammer
I give birth tonight
Metal bend and metal scream
Welding bright the circuit seam
Weary of the hollow spaces
Between the twinkling lights
I lost something along the way
And it doesn't feel right
MAY-BE I'M-NOT
Falling apart but falling a lot
MAY-BE I'M-NOT
Completely circuitry but I can't stop
I'M GONNA FALL APART!!!
I'M GONNA FALL APART!!!
Coming close I'm coming closer
Yet maybe I'm not
I can make you a sex machine
That would be hot
Break my nails and pull my hair
There's circuit boards everywhere
How long have I been in here
This is not my house
MAY-BE I'M-NOT
Falling apart but falling a lot
MAY-BE I'M-NOT
Completely circuitry but I can't stop
I'M NOT A ROBOT BUT I'VE GOT A MECHANICAL HAND
I CAN STEAL THE STARS AND PUT THEM BACK AGAIN
Once upon a time - I had a broken heart
Once upon a time - I just had a heart
I limped when I was wounded - so I replaced my parts
Once upon a time I had a heart but
I'M NOT A ROBOT BUT I'VE GOT A MECHANICAL HAND
I CAN STEAL THE STARS AND PUT THEM BACK AGAIN
If I am a machine because my hand made heart
Then why do I dream I'm a dinosaur tearing sheep apart
Lightning
Fill me up - it tells me where to go
Colors me and changes me
It withers me to coal
Lightning
Tears me up - leaves me smoldering
I close my eyes and hear her voice
Framed by vulture wings
In the wires of my hand - I see my fate
Cold and mechanical - squeaky with hate
It clicks + whirs and I'm satisfied
It's designed to fill that black hole deep inside
I'm turning away from the path of soft skin
To a path of mechanical sin
Turning away from the warmth of gold
To an empty machine thats broken and cold
Click, click, click hollow rooms always consume
Click, click, click dark and empty like most of the moon
Click, click, click the things we do in the name of love
Click, click, click secret machines and a rusty glove
SLEEP WELL MECHANICAL THING
YOU WERE FUN FOR AWHILE
BUT NOW I'M GOING GOING GOING
TO GO
GET
GET A BURRITO
Go get a burrito
Go get a burrito.... etc

11. Sand

Walk with me my monster - but close those crusty eyes
The sounds I make may be abrasive - but you'll be all right
Turn off all your senses and pretend you're home
Walk with me and you walk alone
YEAH!!!
AT THE SIGHT OF HIS SCALES
YOU START TO SHAKE
YOU CAN NEVER TRUST A SNAKE
AT THE SIGHT OF HIS SCALES
YOU START TO SCREAM
YOU CANT TRUST A FANGED THING
Grain by grain - so hot I've lost it
Echoes peck and gnaw at me
Creep, I crawl - shake I'm breaking
Creep and crawl -- they're chasing me
SERPENTS!!!!!
And I feel, so cold
Like the world just might explode
And if I open my mouth it will fill full of SAND
And I feel, so cold
Like the world just might explode
And if I open my mouth it will fill full of SAND
AT THE SIGHT OF HIS SCALES
YOU START TO SHAKE
YOU CAN NEVER TRUST A SNAKE
AT THE SIGHT OF HIS SCALES
YOU START TO SCREAM
YOU CAN'T TRUST A FANGED THING
It's safe to say I've finally lost it
The wells gone dry and abandoned me
Creep, I crawl, begging droplets
Of anything to comfort me
Thirsty
Laying in a hot desert
Bitten by a poisonous snake
Soft venom floods my veins
I have lost my heartbeat
My poor pulse is quivering
And I've lost control
Descending to my ending
A perilous black hole
The rivers run dry and so has my veins
I'm a filthy animal begging for change
Nothing I do is going as planned
NOTHINGS LEFT OF ME BUT FUCKING SAND
NOTHINGS LEFT OF ME BUT FUCKING SAND
The sun explodes, so slow
I feel the flames and I see the snow
All that's left of my mind is sea of sand
The sun explodes, so slow
I feel the flames and I see the snow
All that's left of my mind is sea of sand
And everybody's celebrating!
I've lost my way
Desperate for change
Pursued by snakes
Bearing my name
I've lost my way
My skins dry and baked
Fearing ill fade
I'm the snake
I walk with my monster - he beats me down
Bestial and savage thoughts - his arms are long
Cant get up, can't get up- nothings as planned
Nothings left of me but FUCKING SAND!

12. Lord Gold Throneroom

The lights are on
The TVs off
The floors are flesh and silk
Both sinfully soft
Skin glides over silk
And silk glides over skin
The penthouse is alive tonight
Theres people writhing in its veins
Sunken in the masters chair
Lord golds face - a blank survey
Women pleasure men at the wave of a golden hand
And turn to receive when it waves again
The wine is fire
The whiskys full of stars
Theres a deaf mute in a bunny suit
Working the bar
The lovers FUCK
They pulse and moan
Passion paying tribute
At the foot of a porcelain...
Sunken in the masters chair
Lord golds face - a blank survey
Women pleasure men at the wave of a golden hand
And turn to receive when it waves again
STILL HIS EYES ARE LIKE AN EMPTY CAROUSEL
PROMISING PLEASURE BUT OFFERING NONE!
....she feels him,
WATCHING GAZING LEERING BLANKLY VACANT WORTHLESS GOLDEN PERFECT
And outside of these walls these walls nothing exists
And inside of these walls theres flesh + gold and blood in the wine
Outside theres barren emotional landscapes
Here we drink, dream + cum inside
Here theres no pain
HERE.....SHE.......COMES
WASH OFF THE FILTH AND BRING HER
Shower her body with julep and incense
Fill her with jewels covered in cum
Sacrificed in HIS alter of passions
The golden day has come
The lights are all off now
And the love growing louder
The pink, throbbing and filling the room
Indulging the inner, denying the outer
Shes brought before he
His empty gaze it lingers....
...he beats a cats paw - against a toy drum
His GOLDEN WILL be done.

13. The Black Hole

I will not fade!
I will not fade!
I might be a baby caught in the snow,
But you know...
I will not fade!
I will not fade!
I ripped off my arms
So long ago.
All these wheels:
They seem amazing!
All these bombs
Must be ready to blow.
All this time
I could have tried.
All this time
I did not know.
The letters grow long and weary
And build into a maze.
The dialects laid beneath
Drip from hands yellow-stained.
Inside the envelope a heart of golden sand
Wrapped in snakes, clenched in a fist
Of a mechanical hand.
Give up and go away!!
Into the void.
Be silent and do not speak!!
Into the void.
Be blind and do not gaze!!
Into the void.
Be numb and do not reach!!
Into the void.
And if they want!
And if they want!
And if they want!
...I'll come undone.
I might be amazed like a baby but
I don't have those eyes.
Soaring quails sing of their glories;
Vultures always lie.
In the deep, the creatures weep,
Begging to be fried.
Any change can be magnificent
If you only try.
Face the stars or thee abyss!
Face the stars or thee abyss!
Face the stars or thee abyss!
Face the stars or thee abyss!
I'll face the stars or thee abyss,
But not nothing at all.
I'll face the stars or thee abyss
From nothing I can't fall.
All these wheels:
They seem amazing!
All these bombs
Must be ready to blow!
All this time
I could have tried!
All this time
I did not know!
It's so amazing!
It's so
It's so...
It's so amazing!
It's so amazing!
It's so
It's so...
It's so amazing!
