1. Prologue: Civil Blood Make Civil Hands Unclean

alahoy! alahoy!
let's come together now true believers! it seems that once again we find ourselves alive here on this planet, standing here as we do sometimes looking out into that crowd that wants something. yellin out to all those ears something baby. What do those ears bleed for? Hope? Truth? well what if those ears don't like what they hear? what if they decide like many that they are SO free that they don't have to care. and what if my words would not be so pure? seeing the end so many times, only to come back to the beginning, its time for something bigger, its time for something badder than before. its time for the total universe man. Soon the whole of the universe will rejoice into the unknown hallows of itself. Alright true believers! it seems the time has come, i can hear them knocking.... your future is beatin down our door. what are you gonna do? are you gonna sit there? or are you gonna get up and answer it? no ones there! you can't see them, but i know i can help you find them. you gotta take it to the streets. you gotta hunt them down, and you gotta sweat pure energy. Secure the perimeter! sound the alarms and remember one thing, THE DREAMS OF EVERYONE WILL HAVE NEVER HAPPENED IF NONE OF US LIVE ON TO TELL ABOUT IT. alright! let's give em a showdown!

the curtain the curtain the curtain is drawn

and he who denies it won't live very long
the curtain the curtain the curtain is drawn
but try to decieve and you end up its pawn
the one who prevails here will lead us away
but darkness will shroud us all here til that day
the curtain the curtain the curtain is drawn
if only we could see through there to the dawn
the curtain the curtain the curtain is drawn
and he whos behind it will never belong
the curtain the curtain the curtain is drawn
the one that i see it will live til the dawn

believe in its power awake on the lawn
the curtain the curtain the curtain is drawn
the one who believes it will never be strong
the curtain the curtain the curtains away
the one who will fly there won't live til this day

5. Intermission: Thesis Of Infinite Measure

mindnumbflesh waiting on homecell and lost loves found dealin with scabs
and no one ever lives signin papers and bells are fillin the sky with the schemes from the temperature rises and bats say wondering claps of dying basalt origins touching waving corner of the eyes
blind star legions hiding in cauldrons loving girls.
no. no man, play number 11, play that number 11.... yeeeah.haha.
the scanners are turned off and i got thirty or forty more minutes. relationships in real life are SO hard to handle with friendly friends touching breathing my way sultering on my wavelength. is my phone ringing? old gods dying under shades of anti-gravity we come from the water, we came from the air. pray for good tidings was a thought that kept repeating, but no one could ever find out said they, when will we wake up, and swim into the sounds?

swim into the sounds [x5]

6. I Am The Law

we got a future do you got a future?

7. Sticks And Stones

sticks and stones might break my bones but yr wordsll never hurt me
the one who cast that first little stone some dayll have to pass right thru me
i trust that all the good little girls know a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do
when ya growin up on this earth ya got some problems to solve and yr buddies will too
but you got to keep that third eye open, the one thats in the back of yr head
cause when they sneak up on ya, and they stare into its gaze
watchit when they light that fuse, cause those fireworks might blow up in yr face
and that might hurt a little bit more than some sticks and stones
sticks and stones might break my bones but yr wordsll never hurt me
the one who cast that first little stone some dayll have to pass right thru me
i trust my insticts but i do not trust my superiors orders
if we never question our leaders sticks and stones might stab us in the back
hahahahahahahaha you know they say welcome to the universe? well ill see you at the top baby!
cause thats where i wanna see you, way up at the top, alright.
sticks and stones might break my bones but yr wordsll never hurt me
the one who cast that first little stone some dayll have to pass right thru me
i trust that all the good little girls know a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do
your sticks and stones might break my bones but anything you say can be held against you...
haha! oh yeah that's right, you know what im talking about, huuwahwhahahahwhwhahwhwaa

they're raining cash, cash is falling from the heavens, it falling into my pockets.
you believe in your thing and we believe in science
spend yr pennies and yr dimes on some new appliance
significant other always got you on the lockdown, its high time someone stood right up and finally put their foot down
you believe in your thing and we believe in science
unify the country while we all build alliance
the man behind the curtain didn't mean you any harm
a pencil in his pocket and a flu shot in his arm
the boss is always yellin as they push you down the ladder
the meals are gettin cheaper but we're still gettin fatter

11. Tough Customer

vote for him b/c he's got a plan
we're all the same, but i got a little somethin different baby
vote for him b/c he's got a plan
your convention, someone's intention, i can see the virgin's spillin out
drivin in my car, not gettin very far, become yr president thats what i am about

everyone's looking and everyone's watchin, tough customers from venus are acheivin their goals.
eisenhower broke the rules, which led earth to its fate, nixon flashed those peace signs high, but fell at watergate, the fbi and the cia have failed to take a hint, but when the true believers cast their vote, ill be your president, give it up for him one time now,

who'll mystify, wholl deify, whos gonna be yr president
why not me, ill set you free, tonight i wanna be your president
who'll mystify, wholl deify, whos gonna be yr president
your convention, someone's intention, i can see the virgin's spillin out
drivin in my car, not gettin very far, become yr president thats what i am about
everyone's looking and everyone's watchin, what are we about? come to one of our shows
everyone's looking and everyone's watchin, tough customers from venus are losin control (here, 2 different rants run simultaneously til the end.... choose yr path.)
we're gonna blow up the pyramid
(then a lot of speaking in tongues)
