Dear Serotonin,
I think I'd like to be something grim and unseemly
Something you wouldn't know much about
Norepinephrine's a neural protection
Against horror injections of a schizoid selection
Oh god, I need a doctor
Oh doctor, I need god
Serotonin, I have nothing left to say
Serotonin, I have nothing left to feel
Serotonin, don't you leave me alone
Serotonin, I thought we had a deal
Said Serotonin, quote:
I'd like to find a lecherous means for reuptake
My mission is to disprove, my mission is to doubt
Norepinephrine won't prevent your rejection
I've a horrid affection for depressive selection
Oh god, I need a doctor
Oh doctor, I need god
Serotonin, I have nothing left to say
Serotonin, I have nothing left to feel
Serotonin, don't you leave me all alone
Serotonin, I thought we had a deal
There's a rapture in the lowest
A freedom so appealing
So perversely romantic
In the absence of feeling

The Kids

Spent the summer like a child
Hum from houses all the while
Sang a song with some sparrows
On a dark stretch of road
For someone's sake to suffer us
(All along)
Through the heat and hangar dust
(We're not wrong)
Stay and watch the morning red
I've seen it before
The blanks to be drawn and filled
Clap instead of keeping still
Even if you had to, you'd think twice
Brother, why keep counsel
With the sleepers and the shadows?
They took our money for a room
You might just never find me here
Pressed against a beating drum
(All along)
A pulse to keep our anxiousness
(You're not wrong)
In your fingers and your breath
You've seen it before
The dark vault above this roof
So what if you're not fireproof?
Even though you're up there you've made us too
Once you leave the tree alight,
The kids will watch it through the night together
And once it's out, you ought to know
The kids will be the heroes forever

Palisades

The water holds the city's reflection
And you love it but you don't wear it with ease
You're facing the other direction
Past the palisades, no one to appease
The city sleeps under your discretion
But you're buried in a layer of trees
In the branches, escaping detection
Rest your head now child, asleep in the leaves
Oh, should we try to be kind?
Oh, should we try to be what you had in mind?
I'll make it there without your protection
'Cause I think it's time to leave my family
I'm craving that sweetest confection
And I'm begging on my hands and knees
Oh, should we try to be kind?
Oh, should we try to be what you had in mind?

Madeshwara

The fathers and their fathers had an engine of their own
Helping people to come and go so that they'd never be alone
On and on, side by side
So pass it down through the patriline
Row me across to the other side
Madeshwara rode a tiger,
across his seven hills to defeat an evil king
They all saw him ride his tiger
He came and went and they remembered everything
On and on, side by side
The people sitting in the next car are shifting side to side
They would get there much faster with a jungle cat to ride
So pass it down through the patriline
Row me across to the other side
Madeshwara rode a tiger,
across his seven hills to defeat an evil king
They all saw him ride his tiger
He came and went and they remembered everything
Madeshwara rode a tiger,
across his seven hills to defeat an evil king
They all saw him ride his tiger
He came and went and they remembered everything
On and on, side by side

Behemoth

My nerves are taut
Taut as fiddle strings
Apprehension wants to sing
Groaning gins continuously spinning while they clean
Bright star, I would I were a sinuous machine
Digits on the hand can mend
A high horse who begets little sinful men
We raised them and lowered them,
Dragged them very far,
Eventually adjusted them,
And put them how they are
You're imbued with mission and risk, young man
So please try not to do much damage,
And to learn as much as you can
The people are the heroes now
