lyrics

A great many, many men without heads haunting the same boring places nonetheless are impeccably dressed with countless disguises and faces. Obvious oddities are vaguely familiar to hollow shells of former selves lost in the monotony of a regressive, monolithic, superstitious anti-intellectual, media perverted, culturally diverted society of the spectacle. I am just a stranger to myself. I’m a body without the head. Sometimes I need to scream just to prove that I’m not dead. We can’t escape tall tales and endless paper trails. Everybody living as if they don’t know of the desperate encounters between human curiosity and pretty much everything. It’s a Spectacle. We’re susceptible. We’re going nowhere, and we’re going at record speed. Everything worth having is just out of reach. We’re constantly moving in circles to get out from underneath. We’re spinning in circles on the earth. We’re spinning in circles around the sun. Around the center of the galaxy we spin on and on and on. We spin on and on.
