i’m just coming back for you can’t you see my hands are blue ? i’m just coming back for you what i’ll say i don’t have a clue i’m going in & out of style i think i’ll do that for a while i’m fading in & out of time & then i’ll probably say goodbye.

& all of my little friends they withdraw near the hourglass they’re little rats they’re little pigs they’re bad puns you don’t get in time they go around & fuck me up they’re in the business of being happy it meant something at the time but now it’s fading & all of my newest friends they’re not real so it doesn’t count they’re freaking great they’re freaking pimps they pump it up they digiligidangdong they go around & fuck me up they’re in the business of being happy it meant something at the time but now it’s fading.

Vulgar 02:26
(stop! le aids time) fuck art i wanna be bland be a slacker a fool no use of the hand but i don’t know what i want what i really really want what on earth am i doing? my tastes were like sharpened knives now they could not cut through pie i’ve become a huge bowl of nothing oh i know i get so slow but what should i be doing? songs & songs & still the same old bore i’m bored i’m oh so fucking vulgar fuck that shit now get out the way got some awesome pop songs to make changing lives one record at the time don’t forget think le aids if you’re feeling sad fuck that shit now get out the way my art needs to speak right away in what direction shall the wind of sound blow ? exploring the sounds like robinson crusoe "en vérité je fais de la musique car c’est la seule activité facilement satisfaisante pour l’égo que je puisse réaliser avec un minimum de difficultés principalement grâce à des connaissances sommaires acquises durant mes années ingrates et sur lesquelles se basent fort paresseusement la quasi-totalité des choses que je réalise" (let the bird sing).

like the storm in the sky like the guts of a rabbit killed by a car like the dirt in a scar like the sharp angles of a slippery bath like the sand in your eyes like a knife that cuts with ease through meat and blood like a pain in your heart like the top of a baby's head way too soft like your teeth falling out like this fear by the window from way too high like your street late at night like the cold sweat on your back let me show you ways you could die let it tell you pains you could try all these corpses surround our lives it's on dead meat we built our houses.

Middle Ages 01:58
a little pea swimming in ecstasy i keep finding ways to damage me code konami a life played on "easy" i keep finding ways to damage me came back here for some shitty days the clouds gathered but it never rained but i will never give up until there's no chances oh my mining my way deadlines are so easily raped all is fucked but there's still hygiene i left some sense in my daily routine oh today's efforts look like yesterday's slack today's top of work is not like yesterday's which itself was the pretty lazy type a little pea swimming in ecstasy i keep finding ways to damage me code konami a life played on "easy" i keep finding ways to damage me.

Disco Boy 02:37
oh disco boys all go to the big town where everything is managed to be found oh disco boys all go to dance around but everywhere they're offered to sit down oh disco boys like to ride to the hounds hoping that round flesh will lead to a home oh disco boys one day they will be sound yes but only if they don't make a sound oh disco boys they're funny when they come watch out baby there goes your brand new life oh disco girls put those huge lenses on see now you can get what is going on oh disco girls their clunky cloddish arms grab youngsters necks while their saliva gouge oh disco girls are friends with everyone like cheap beers are friends of the sticky bum oh disco girls are getting wet way down that's why at dawn they cry less all alone oh disco girls they're funny when they come watch out baby there goes your brand new life oh disco kids please could you rate this song? 3 out of 5? well yeah that's what i thought.

on the way home yesterday i passed by the streets near my old school & it felt so cheap everything was still the same yet slightly changed just enough to look horribly out of place it crumbles it's putting you apart it crumbles it leaves a bitter mark it crumbles it's full of odd new starts it crumbles but only in your heart & there is nothing to be said to the friends of yesterday why can't we just slip awa y ? there's nothing else for us in time on the memoirs i'll never write you'd probably have a page it crumbles it's putting you apart it crumbles it leaves a bitter mark it crumbles it's full of odd new starts it crumbles but only in your heart (farewell a farewell d for every letter there is somebody farewell h farewell t farewell everybody).

you went to an art show you looked at pictures on a wall you went to an art show you walked in circles back & forth you went to an art show you stared at shapes & you were like "i don't know what i'm supposed to like at all" you went to a concert you saw some people making sounds you went to a concert people were sweating & you thought "i don't know if i'm supposed to dance at all" you went to a movie you wanted to sleep in the dark you went to a movie the story told just left you wondering "i don't know why i'm supposed to mind at all" THESE ARE THE DARK AGES IT’S COMING DOWN ON YOU NOW you went to a party you knew no one but they said "hi" you went to a party then went back home without a sound "i don't know who i'm supposed to like at all" you went to an art show where people seemed so vain you went to a concert & everybody jumped around your corpse.

The Cage 02:15
my words are crap they can be swapped with your words it takes time sometimes to do nothing at all my face is stupid let's smash it on a wall there's still a picture hung there oh-oh i'll pull it down it's still a troublesome time but yeah it's fading soon it won't mean a thing yeah i guess i'll just throw it away sometimes freed birds think back about that nice wooden perch in their old golden cage & then they fly away (just like at the end of this record i'll go back at being a happy man) yeah i wanna get old when i'll get there i know i'll get bored let's have a toast i finally made it got rid of all the friends i had from when i was a teen it's still a troublesome time it keeps happening we’re shaped from the sorrow it brings it's still all trouble sometimes but yeah it's fading soon it won't mean a thing yeah i guess i'll just throw it away.

Smaller 02:38
i'm getting smaller everyday don't wanna do a thing i've got nothing to say i'm getting smaller everyday the horizon drew close it's now at my doorstep i'm getting smaller everyday i fold myself in 10 to fit in slimmer plans i'm getting smaller everyday little limbs & little dreams pure emptiness in my head the vacuum on sunday frozen food cheap parties tv shows internet a garage a garden unique goal holidays simple joy on payday old records & replays a cocoon a burden i'm smaller everyday i'm getting smaller everyday when i come home from work just wanna go to bed i'm getting smaller everyday small screw of something huge expendable any day yeah i'm getting smaller everyday keep waiting for free time that will just be wasted i'm getting smaller everyday favorite person of no one barren brain & tired hands i'm smaller & i'll amount to nothing i'm banal & i'm no one from now on & forever (i'm getting smaller everyday i have no meaning at all) forever.

Babies 02:28
when we were little babies we traveled around the world we had it all at our feet on the palm of our hearts the clocks were frozen in time the future still undone what have i become lately? the question rings & i cannot answer it clearly without blurring my eyes i'm afraid usual patterns will one day rule my life oh my love it's like we're running out of time every hours ticking i don't mind is that something that is not right? but i'm so happy now when we were little babies we were motherfuckers we were noisy we were dumb that's how useless we were but now there's so much distance closer from death than birth & fuck it cuz i don't care cuz the peak is right now & if the price that i'll pay is watching me roll down slowly through mediocrity it was worth it anyhow oh my love (will you ever mind?) if we go slowly hand in hand (together in time) to the darkest seas i think i (oh i think that i) will be glad to live just as long (long as you and i) keep being what we are now.

À Vau-L'Eau 03:51
it's going to stop it's not gonna end well it's gonna hurt i guess they didn't tell it's gonna come & it's not gonna dwell woke up early this morning an angel came to me & said "it's the last day of your life" i first said "how" then i stopped & asked "why" always been more of a practical guy but it had left me alone wondering hard ok let's avoid stairs knives & subways better be careful this time it's the last day of my life oh should i work should i see friends but for me they won't change their plans where should i go no places left i'll just stay home stuck in my bed natural cause of death (oh don't say that) it's the last day of my life oh my bones my eyes my songs my rhymes they've come they'll pass they'll never last oh i worked i tried i learned my lines & look there's no scars on my back fresh born until the day it stops it’s so long it’s going down it dreams alone endlessly.
