or maybe I just don't want to be left behind, resigned
to an expanding universe I can't keep up with.

Things are as they are. It's clear. My mind's a hawk
with the blinders off. I've thawed the diamond.

I can look upon the earth demonically.
I can see it through the eyes of the angel.
But the fireflies have taught me all they have to share.
And the lightning looks like a slacker compared

Disorganization

Let's get out !!
get the body out
get the nation out
get the way out
Virus, Sludge, Endorphin, Nihilism
Let's get out !!
get the brain out
get the sex out
get the word out
Virus, Suicide, Execution, Nirvana
Let's get out !!
get the blood out
get the gene out
get the world out
Virus, Scrap, Panic, Catastrophe
