You came from the moon...

Now you’re on this crazy planet

Trapped in plastic

Trapped in drastic...

changes.

---

No, you’re not that guy.

But you’re not all that different.

Packaged. Sold for a silly price.

---

But I want to comfort you tonight.

There is no way to lose.

Lifting the veil of the ups and downs

you start to see the pattern

there’s something...else.

except, when there isn’t

the electric shock sends you flying into

a morbid hopelessness

Why is there no way to lose

there’s plenty to lose!

well where were you before?

and why can’t you remember if you were?

and if there’s nothing beyond this

underneath this

in and around and thoughout this

if nothing is this

then why is this?

and why

do you

want to know so badly?

why do your hairs bristle when you

hear these sounds?

what’s in a smile?

Maybe there is a sterile, clinical explanation.

in fact, I’ve heard them.

but what makes the whole thing move

in the first place?

....

Hey!
