1. this town needs dracula

I'm late. No music, I've broken all of my hands.

Lyrics

so little to lose
and so much to gain
just open your hearts
(and open your veins)
to my mayoral campaign
lifetimes of experience
of giving you the fear you want
making speeches after dark
to make a flame out of this spark

you've been cooking with a sword
and fighting with a spatula
can't you people see
that this town needs dracula?

don't mind my accent
or my pallid complexion
or my suspicious lack
of a normal reflection
(please pay no attention)
I drink "red wine"
and I'm friends with frankenstein
I'm the man for the position
have I passed the audition?

your current leader
is less man than tarantula
can't you people see
that this town needs dracula?

2. wizard science is annihilating space

title track

Lyrics

teletext / archetype
atoms fired through a circular pipe
minidisc / obsolete
tripods hunched at the end of your street
microfiche / going viral
DNA in a twisted spiral
VHS / betamax
drop the bomb on the source of the facts

the president has a worried look on her face
wizard science is annihilating space
all watched over by machines of loving grace
wizard science is annihilating space

atom bomb / holiday
the only way to win is not to play
solar flare / parentheses
wires wrap around the branches of trees
radiation / decompose
digging holes for old radios
EMP / citadel (citadel citadel)
churches filled with robot shells

can you feel technology’s warm embrace?
wizard science is annihilating space
glowing light in an open briefcase
wizard science is annihilating space

3. deep water sludge lagoons

Lyrics

another weekend zeppelin trip
another air disaster
pegasus steed won't respond to instructions:
"turn left, and go faster"
the heartbreak rain falls near-horizontal
death rattles all consonantal
watch them fall from their sick balloons
into deep water sludge lagoons

two more earthquakes, chasms open
lava rises through the gashes
pterodactyl horsemen cackle
flutter their undead eyelashes
stench infernal, heat colossal
still the mutant masses jostle
for position, 'neath the moon
near deep water sludge lagoons

holy power, long awaited
rotten breath from lungs deflated
pulses slow in last communes
next to deep water sludge lagoons

cursed lyric

Lyrics

you are just a collection
of electric impulses
you are just a selection
of musical notes
I require your affection
though my appearance repulses
and your skin starts to crawl
when I begin my anecdotes

it's just a box
a box with a hole
but the light that gets reflected
is a window on your soul
and with the right angle
and the right exposure time
your eternal being
can be mine, all mine
