Lyrics

 

this is a dream

there is a girl

a deadpan girl

a hollow girl

a hell of a shell of a local girl

 

i know this girl

from homeroom class

she seemed so fragile then like she was made of glass

she cracked, she cracked

but now she's back

 

this is a dream

but this is life

there is a girl

a hollow girl

i want to know what's in that void

i want to know what's in that void

 

she says hey, you wanna do some blow

i say i don't know, oh hell let's go

           

she says sheepishly

she says actually

she says that it's really rock, it's really rock, it's really

 

it's the

crack in the kootenays, it's the

hole in my head, it's the

chemical solution

to the problem i never had

 

rock and rock and rock and roll it

rock and roll

 

it's the

crack in the kootenays, it's the

hole in my head, it's the

chemical solution

to the problem i never had

 

rock and

rock and

rock and roll it

rock and roll (just give me a taste)

 

i hit the pipe

it hits me hard

i'm on fire, i'm on fire

not like pryor, it's figurative

 

i hit the pipe

it's in my head

the answer, positive, affirmative, the pain is dead dead dead

 

solid joy

pouring in

concrete pleasure physics, mechanistic bliss

 

 

rock and rock and rock and roll it

this will end soon

rock and rock and rock and roll it

this will end soon

 

where can i get

another hit

my life is strobing now, i need to find the switch

 

 

did you learn the diamond sutra in pre-school, or was it assumed?

i'm not sure what color eternity is

mental, physical, vegetable, mineral

lottery-winning animal

still primed for pain after all this evolution

 

what do you do with endorphins?

maybe you've done too much

rubbed out your spots

changed into the veil, a mucus membrane

between life and death

 

vitamin c will not fill the void

but i chew the tablet anyway

tasty citrus, and my health is improved, by micrograms

that may tip the fractal scales, turn a bad day into good

yeah right

 

you don't wanna see

what's inside

you don't wanna know

how it works

 

inner workings are a jerk off

in the land of hysterics, the stoic is king

 

i must simulate the innocence, simulate the innocence

cause i'll be guilty

to the end of this peaked earth

 

candied cortex tastes so sweet

peak pyramid scam, the pharaoh’s curse

 

       drowning in embalming fluid

       drowning in embalming fluid

 

 

searching for the genuine ethereal joy

concrete doesn't satisfy

eden's lost, eden's lost

and the machine is broken

concrete doesn't satisfy

 

searching for the genuine ethereal joy

novelty is old news, innocence is ancient

thinking man is just a broken toy

i am not a tweaker, i am not a tweaker

 

searching for the genuine ethereal joy (i am not a tweaker)

concrete doesn't satisfy

eden's lost, eden's lost

and the machine is broken

 

i have come

to the canadian land of the dead (i am not a tweaker)

via the rosebush covered tombstone

                

i have come

to the canadian land of the dead

via the

rosebush covered tombstone

via the

rosebush covered tombstone

through the crack in the kootenays

                

it's the      

crack in the kootenays, it's the

hole in my head, it's the

chemical solution

to the problem i never had

 

rock and rock and rock and roll it

rock and roll, it's the

 

crack in the kootenays, it's the

hole in my head, it's the

chemical solution

to a problem i never had

 

rock and rock and rock and roll it

rock and roll it, yeah

 

 

life is a pretty sweet fruit

for as long as it lasts

are you living anymore

are you living anymore

                            life

is a pretty strange fruit

when you're hanging from the noose

are you living anymore

are you living anymore

                            life

is a pretty sweet fruit

when you're gorging on an orange

are you getting any pleasure

                         are you getting any vitamin c

                         life

is a chemical flux

are your chemicals fluxing

are you living anymore

are you living anymore

are you living anymore

                       are you getting any vitamin c
