Oh, Get Foreshortened, Man, Get Normal Songtext
von Water Gun Water Gun Sky Attack

Now!
Petulant zombies
What do they matter?
Growl at the neighbors
We′re building a city
For rational men to make
Nihilist chatter
Stay warm at heart
Don't worry the details
Go parading the stars
Feel like a child Sinking into his mother′s arms
History's finished!
Like in the nineties but
This time it's different
My world is swimming and
All′s right with it
Part of a whole like
An organ suspended
Outside of the body
No fires and no alarms


Something could happen
But not for a while
Something could happen
Better not get tired
Do what you can
Make petite corrections
Stand perfectly still
Get in a question
Been thinking it through
Maybe the answer
Wants nothing to do with you
Maybe there′s already
An elephant caterwauling
In every room
Bloom under pressure
Process and ponder
All at your leisure
Oh, can you imagine?
Panic through pleasure
A stress on the muscles
I bet you've never had to measure

All pictures are of pictures
All stories are of stories
All names are of names are of names
I try to keep perspective, yeah,
But time is moving strange
I get foreshortened, man, I get normal
This i try to allow
But through my window
I see all things here and now!

Here and now!
Oh, here and now!
Here and now!

I don′t want to get even
I don't want to debate
The morning sun
Will crack its skull upon my holy name!

Now!
Speak in abbreviations
Secretly love it
Impotent coward
Hate feeling sober
Feed me lines through an earpiece
I think about nothing
Drop of sweat on the eyelash
Or an ache in the shoulder
A hill I can′t get over
A physical union
A shout that I hear in the dead of night
It's awfully human
Hey keep your composure!
You gotta perform
Say you believe it
Go choke if you don′t
You can get a big head
But know your place in a
Room full of friends
Keep your voice in that tone
Keep that smile off your mind
You've never really been alone

All crises eternal all themes universal
All friends parasocial there's no other way
Sea of spit and milk drawn through
All points in empty space
Oh, I get foreshortened, man, I get normal
Yeah this I try to allow
But through my window
I see all things here and now!

I don′t want to get even
I don′t want to debate
The morning sun
Will crack its skull upon my holy name!
All I want will continue
All I want is to remain
All I want will continue
All I want is to remain
