lyrics

Blue permeates the view
rinses off the goo
patches your signal through.
Rise, rub the weary eyes.
Don the new disguise.
Clarity is the prize.
But mere flesh alone does not skin the drum
of the fundamental hum.
Sail well beyond the pale
swiftly as a snail.
Flattery leaves you frail.
Ring all the bells you bring.
Bow before the king.
Slay him with his own sling.
But sheer force alone cannot chew the gum
of the fundamental hum.
Fling your belongings in the river.
Donate your lungs to the song.
But pray as you may, there will come a day
when all that we know will be gone.
Sheer force alone cannot chew the gum
of the fundamental
mere flesh alone does not skin the drum
of the fundamental hum.
