about
I wrote a whole bunch of shit about this song but then the page refreshed and I can kind of remember what I wrote but at the moment I'd rather do other things.
lyrics
Chickenleather on parade
Through the jungles of LA
With hand grenade and grand machine
And thunder and lightning
And tape machines and flying machines
And washing machines and vitamin dreams
And I've been sleeping rather lonely
Security
Fuck it
Security
Lumbering leaders loving the law
Lying like lucifer fighting godzilla
Turn on the telly and tighten my jaw
And turn all my brains off
Pain in my belly and shit in my pants
Tell me I'm hungry to learn a new dance
So I can dance it with somebody
Security
Fuck it
Security
Seat belts and semen traps soiled with sex
Check points and check books and children of men
Chasing their tails in a circular motion
Here where the water uncovers the land
Jupiter's daughter finds a place to stand
Sweeps all the cities back into the ocean
