The Horrible Fanfare / Landslide / Exoskeleton (Letra, Escuchar Audio, Videos)
Ashes of ancients
The nations repainted
The chain gang chatelaine
Changing the station
The theme song playing
The anthem of normal
The horrible fanfare
The horns get distorted
On a public announcement
The towns are impounded
Where order resounded
Cowards towered around it
Power line buzzards
Surveilling the night
Talons in flight
The fake horizons ignite
Banality lives where hysteria kills
Civilian jungles with malaria pills
Animals bleed to buy a star from the night
Avenue kids wear a scar like a stripe
Send up a signal to the heavenly rescue
When the poisons coming from the person youre next to
Let the voltage of thought pull the plug from the wound
Cos if the soul is a symptom the condition is you
They know its a letterbomb hand me down
This thought is a perjury blindfold
When she crawls from the Himalayan rain
With her birds of prey and her weapons on the fire
Shes riding a landslide down to me
Shes cutting the shackles off of me
Shes shaking the dead birds from the trees
Shes takin the only air I breathe
Iron lungs and a plate glass sermon
Dont call it death on the installment plan
She pulling the armor from my back
And raking the coals over the tracks
And taking the knife out from the stack
Shes bringing the blood that I had back
Shes coming to see its all a sin
Coming to see the sun again
Coming to wash it off again
Coming to see her self again
Coming to see her self again
Coming to wash it off again

"it has to tell you how to live... it (stammering) has, is an instruction guide. Subtle. It doesnt push. It nudges. It entices..or suduces. It has to encompass the whole world. Everything that has been. That is. And will be.
(Talking:person one)

(Talking:person two)
"..AND could take it into space. And thats why you build a space ship. Because ultimately thats what space travel is all about. Was sending up ships from earth into space. And not just in some space shuttle thats got all the foam comming off of it. You need your own, glowing, ya know multi-colored.... space ship. It would be inside the space ship and.. the space ship. You know what Im saying?
Like an exoskeleton.
