[01:41.04] The past is a grotesque animal
[01:44.68]
[01:45.76] And in its eyes you see
[01:47.90]
[01:50.65] How completely wrong you can be
[01:54.21]
[01:56.83] How completely wrong you can be
[02:00.59]
[02:06.15] The sun is out it melts the snow that fell yesterday
[02:09.98]
[02:11.73] Makes you wonder why it bothered
[02:19.34]
[02:24.96] I fell in love with the first cute girl that I met
[02:28.65]
[02:30.77] Who could appreciate George Bataille
[02:33.65]
[02:37.47] Standing at a Swedish festival
[02:39.28]
[02:42.15] Discussing Story of the Eye
[02:44.59]
[02:48.33] Discussing Story of the Eye
[02:50.78]
[02:55.96] It's so embarrassing to need someone like I do you
[03:00.09]
[03:01.78] How can I explain I need you here and not here too
[03:09.50]
[03:12.07] How can I explain I need you here and not here too
[03:16.54]
[03:21.24] I'm flunking out I'm flunking out
[03:23.72] I'm gone I'm just gone
[03:25.30]
[03:27.24] But at least I author my own disaster
[03:30.24]
[03:38.93] At least I author my own disaster
[03:41.98]
[03:46.67] Performance breakdown and I don't want to hear it
[03:51.10]
[03:51.92] I'm just not available
[03:53.55]
[03:56.30] Things could be different but they're not
[03:59.74]
[04:03.92] Things could be different but they're not
[04:09.12]
[04:11.18] The mousy girl screams Violence violence
[04:13.58]
[04:14.27] The mousy girl screams Violence violence
[04:16.71]
[04:17.33] She gets hysterical 'cause they're both so mean
[04:22.33]
[04:23.70] And it's my favorite scene
[04:25.58]
[04:30.33] But the cruelty's so predictable
[04:32.89]
[04:35.77] Makes you sad on the stage
[04:37.64]
[04:39.77] Though our love project has so much potential
[04:42.96]
[04:45.21] But it's like we weren't made for this world
[04:47.60]
[04:49.05] Though I wouldn't really want to meet someone who was
[04:52.92]
[05:01.36] Do I have to scream in your face
[05:03.24]
[05:06.30] I've been dodging lamps and vegetables
[05:09.33]
[05:11.07] Throw it all in my face I don't care
[05:15.07]
[05:17.15] Let's just have some fun let's tear this shit apart
[05:20.65]
[05:21.78] Let's tear the f**king house apart
[05:23.77]
[05:24.90] Let's tear our f**king bodies apart
[05:27.08]
[05:29.82] Let's just have some fun
[05:31.27]
[05:40.09] Somehow you've red-rovered the gestapo circling my heart
[05:44.77]
[05:45.71] And nothing can defeat you no death no ugly world
[05:50.83]
[05:52.53] You've lived so brightly you've altered everything
[05:56.77]
[05:58.21] I find myself searching for old selves
[06:01.64]
[06:02.58] While speeding forward through the plate glass of maturing cells
[06:07.05]
[06:22.61] I've played the unraveler the parhelion
[06:27.42]
[06:28.86] But even Apocalypse is fleeting there's no death no ugly world
[06:35.49] Sometimes I wonder if you're mythologizing me like I do you
[06:42.01]
[06:47.89] Mythologizing me like I do you
[06:50.57]
[06:53.23] We want our film to be beautiful not realistic
[06:57.67]
[07:00.11] Perceive me in the radiance of terror dreams
[07:04.29]
[07:05.12] You can betray me you can
[07:12.06]
[07:14.56] You can betray me
[07:16.05]
[07:19.99] Teach me something wonderful
[07:22.12]
[07:23.12] Crown my head crowd my head with your lilting effects
[07:27.68] Project your fears on to me I need to view them
[07:31.46]
[07:32.39] See there's nothing to them
[07:34.46]
[07:35.46] I promise you there's nothing to them
[07:38.20]
[07:40.39] I'm so touched by your goodness
[07:43.45]
[07:44.47] You make me feel so criminal
[07:46.72]
[07:50.77] How do you keep it together
[07:52.46]
[07:55.15] I'm all all unraveled
[07:57.37]
[08:03.18] But you know no matter where we are
[08:05.12]
[08:06.99] We're always touching by underground wires
[08:09.99]
[08:34.74] I've explored you with the detachment of an analyst
[08:39.44]
[08:41.20] But most nights we've raided the same kingdoms
[08:45.44]
[08:47.63] And none of our secrets are physical
[08:49.82]
[08:51.03] None of our secrets are physical
[08:53.86]
[08:57.24] None of our secrets are physical now
