lyrics

FLUX CAPACITOR

Each night we all go crawling
Through the air vents of our minds
Looking for the secrets
Our conscious selves don't want to find

Each one's guarded by a monster
Frightening to behold
To defeat them you must hold them tight
Or so I have been told

In the dark I see a figure
Clothed entirely in black
I know she means to kill me
So I'm first to attack

You have just sixty seconds
To prevent a massacre
Can you defuse the weapons
In the flux capacitor?

My dog is speaking English
My grandma is a tree
My teeth are falling on the floor
My hand becomes a key

I put the key inside you
The universe explodes
The laces on my sneakers are
Beginning to corrode

Now the ground becomes elastic
Now my tree's become a log
Now the now is now tomorrow
Now we're in a synagogue

Entrusted with the ransom
For six kidnapped ambassadors
Fight off all the phantoms
In the flux capacitor

Then that guy I saw this morning
Jogging backwards in orange shorts
Is sitting on my sofa
Being boring about sports

I wake up in my old house
But my daughter's here with me
Except now it is a motel
And my daughter's on TV

She's calling me a racist
She's calling for my death
I'll call her in the morning
When we're both feeling refreshed

Per the charts some nun displays
Men are trending flaccider
Seek the center of the maze
Find the flux capacitor

Some of that renown was due to their music, which included semi-hits such as “Crush Story,” “Donna Everywhere,” and “That’s a Lie” — a cover of the LL Cool J tune that featured the man himself in the music video, which actually got played quite a bit during daylight hours on MTV back when they did that sort of thing. ... more
