lyrics

Time moves so fast slipping through your synapses
Your reincarnation can feel just like a relapse
When you're dying all the time
Punching holes in the hive mind
You feel like I feel a magnetism maybe something in the air
It's like the gravity is getting heavy everywhere
ahead and behind

Ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah-hah!

I sit and wonder why all the girls just pass me by
And if you ask me if get it yet I'll say "I haven't gotten much lately.
But one day soon I'll meet my lady 'neath the light of the moon
And when she asks 'do I know you?' I'll say 'yes, in fact you're having my baby.'
Oh baby baby baby!"

The girls pass me by skating 'cross my glazed eyes
I feel them swimming 'neath my skin and circulating through my spine
There comes a day when my skull gets too tight for my mind
And my teeth click and chatter while my thoughts bump and grind

Ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah-hah!

But you got down on me just like good lobotomy
I felt all the bad dreams a-draining out of me
Beginning to fade
And in the deep dark within I awoke with a start
And my eyelids fluttered like a hummingbird heart
As if to lift me away
Now my thoughts drift ahead while my body stays behind
You know that heavy are our heads and light are our minds
Heavy are our heads and light are our minds
