Extinction Blues

Burn my eyes into the sin
Fuse my pupils into one
Bury my ears underground
So they cannot hear a sound
Twist my legs into a break
Throw my daughters in the lake
Throw my sons into the sea
See them swim away from me
Loes the does out in the frost
Find the stag until he's lost
Antlers mounted on a plaque
Flanking portals, covering tracks
Hide the fawns deep in the wood
Hide them deep and hide them good
Hide them for a single year
Hide them until they are deer
Cut my throat and set me free
Do it sharply and quickly
Turn my life inside out
Let it flow, let it out
Watch it pooling round your feet
Coagulate in the heat
Oxidised metallic brown
Painting rust upon the ground
Got myself extinction blues
Now there's nothing more to do
Nothing else left to say
Not by me anyway

Tiny little viruses
Making tiny plans
Inside my cells, inside my cells
Tiny little viruses
Copying themselves
Inside my cells, inside my cells
More and more viruses
One big factory
My machinery, my machinery
More and more viruses
Bursting through my cells
Setting themselves free, setting themselves free
Like a Vampire, an empire
A place in the sun to retire
Tiny little viruses
Organisms
At the edge of life, at the edge of life
Tiny little viruses
Replicators
At the edge of life, at the edge of life

Bitumin and tar

No sir, I don't drive, my head is a car
My mind is a road, my eyes are the stars
Twinkling a terror even dogs cannot hear
Headlights blinking animal fear
Highway umbilical, the near and the far
Joy is a boy, crashing a car
Highway umbilical, the near and the far
Asphalt my fault, Bitumin and tar
No sir, I do not drive
My head is a car
My mind is a road
My eyes are the stars
Twinkling a terror
Even dogs cannot hear
Headlights blinking animal fear
