20 GOTO 10 Songtext
von Seeming

I jolt in thirst, my memory caves
I lose my language to find my balance
I stitch a headdress from carrier pigeons killed for bearing bad news
The army has fallen, there′s no way off this island
Will you marry me?

The illusion of cannibalism
Now the distance is too short to cross
Now the body's peak is not the head but the hunchback shoulders
I cry like a proud father
You laugh like an electric chair
Only our most cherished ghosts remain

The nightmare of milk and sand pouring from skulls
Of bell inequalities and fallen cadets
"What′s your real name?" We shout into phones
A single baby shoe in the gutter
A wheezing deer covered in dead wolves giving birth to antlers
Blueprints inked with venom


This began as a fallout shelter
A Utopian community gone maddeningly wrong
A house that always floods
A knot that always tightens
Pipe organs gone mute
The back swung hammer preempts the surrendering nail
Lions run wild on the capitol
The moonlight made them do it

Exit music never ends, it stays immortal
So behold exit dance, exit sculpture, exit love, exit law
A dolphin breaches in gray noise
Things exist only to say they exist
Heads simply fall off
Whose fault is it?

I demand ethnography
I pray to Mary daily
I will never see you again
I cannot bear to read the sequel
I dream of you but forget the dream
I wanted you to kiss my heart
