Sparks and flies spring out of nowhere
Dreams and wishes and a strange commotion
Connections made, connections severed
A signal lost from across the ocean
A plague of laughter cuts through the ether
An anxious crowd on the edge of their seats
They will do what they are told
Turn up the volume, pump up the beats
Well beyond your imagination
Well beyond your wildest dreams
There exists a strange civilization
Of bold and new extremes
The water heater went and exploded
The basement filled with a torrent of blood
The plumber drowned when he was exploring
We found him under a mountain of mud
In his hand he clutched a ledger
But the the paper had turned to rot
We deciphered all that we could
But what we learned we soon forgot
Ancient curses forever remain
Like the smell of a putrid perfume
Outside the rain is relentlessly falling
While inside we spin on a loom
