My Stuff

i'm gettin' very worried 'bout the outpatient calling on the inpatient's dollar
they're makin' origami for the guy who's pissed off and isn't wearing a collar
my daddy had no shoes on when they knocked down his door to ask him for some qabalah
cause ein sof is my stuff and the rumors are true
the fascists were cooler and the sky wasn't blue
and every time the kids start something new
i get so confused i don't know what else to do
i'd like to thank the academy of narcissists and owners of estates
for bringing us a future full of pathetic losers with the stiffness of breastplates
my whole emasculation is substantially fairer than those guys in the red states
cause ein sof is my stuff and the rumors are true
the answer's comin' back i don't know what else to do
and every time the kids start something new
i get so confused i don't know what is gonna
happen to them take it to me sock it to them
the answer's comin' back
commensurate attack
the answer's comin' back
it's fun to kill the caliphate
but not so much illiterate
guess who'll get the most of it
the answers comin' back
commiserate attack
the answer's comin' back
answer's comin' back
elucidate attack
the answer's comin' back
it's fun to kill the caliphate
but not so much illiterate
but guess who'll get the best of it
i'm gettin' very worried for the souls of my enemies and the spirits of friends
they're all imposing freedoms on the limits they need to make a means to an end
i never played a round but i could drop several thousand on improving the brand
cause this stuff is my stuff and the rumors are true
that mine isn't yours and you don't know what to do
you ??? fools, you ought to be in a zoo
cause every time the kids'll start something new

Remarks

i met a girl who was just like a real one, but she didn't have the spark
she tried to convinced me that she was a human, i didn't believe her remarks
she said, COERIXPMUQNXBTOIXZNIU, i didn't believe her remarks
she said, WOOWENNWOWOWOONWO, i didn't believe her remarks
i met a man who went over the deep end, and travelled the edge of the world
he told me the answer to life's biggest question, but i couldn't hear the words
he said, ##PPP#PPPP#P#P#O#O##, i couldn't hear the words
he said, EA7C8B909367F9C7EA0CB21, i couldn't hear the words
he was looking for the girl who wasn't human
but the story was confusin'
and i've closed that chapter now
i wish i could help somehow
they said, GEINWNOENIOGGNNWIEG, i didn't believe their remarks
they said, !?@%)?!§(%&¢1H£&*$^*@>S?, i didn't believe their remarks
etc.

Hello Science Fiction
02:12
|
|||
|
hello science fiction wrap your arms around the world now
for humanity's enlightenment a promise of hyperbole
hello science fiction flowing down from human resources
eroding all my senses with an automated technocratic state
you can watch a tv show but all at once like it's a movie
who has time for tedium you've got to catch up on your culture
fly me to the middle distance where the stars are singing
o leviathan it beckons, can it wait another day
hello science fiction you are welcome in the evening
when the world has no more meaning and the oracle is not receiving
human bombs and teleprompters don't know global warming
is it real or is it slowing down the progress of the technocratic state
you can watch a tv show but all at once like it's a movie
everybody's talkin' 'bout the order of the pills they're taking
an entire meatloaf was devoured in one evening
and so i resort to dreaming, fiction waits another day

Red Light Means Go
02:52
|

borne of woman i come south with crystals in my head
short of breath the bardo's joke to aggravate the dead
comfortable with open shame in lymbic polonaise
gold plié relief collapsing from the system raids
big abusive mess i made with skull flaps lit'rally
cut the cord to force admit what i will never be
damn they figured out my secret, better to play dumb
might be cooler to connect your finger to your thumb
bitches white as sheep i fancy, i can not control
in this sinner's sleep it's backwards, red light means to go

Ought to Be in a Zoo
02:00
|
|||
|
all of your life you've had something
all of your life has been one glowing dream
all of it flowing upstream
all of society's crumbling
all of the people whose faces we knew
ought to be put in a zoo
i can't believe you're so happy
i can't believe you're still innocent too
you ought to be in a zoo
|

i don't want to die in your arms
without even leaving the house
i'm sick of keeping your secrets
i'm tired of telling you lies
when it's over
will you be surprised?

Art Intern
02:03
|

Groping at opportunities for boredom
nothing is as welcome as an art form
There is an ocean I don't always polar in
It doesn't have to do with my career
Groping for opportunities to relax
& enjoy the job that you've been giving out
Once in a while it might be nice to fantasize throwing it out
Good looking classical paintings are in short supply
You & try & you try but you never can wait for the canvas to dry
Computers are drawing instead, but they can never connect the limbs
of the trees & the human beings in their mind's eye.

she's gonna crash her car
she won't get very far
her mind is in the clouds
her feet are on the pedals and she's
gonna crash her car
she thinks that she's a star
she's gonna lose her license
if she keeps driving like this
she's gonna crash her car
she won't get very far
forgets she's just a meat sack
inside some 2 ton steel trap (but)
her mind is in the clouds
and her feet are on the pedals
and she's gonna turn that car into
a heap of twisted metal

Palace Prisoner

I wonder if they knew
That I liked my new
Life better than the old
Even if it's just a ruse
Even if you used me
In some way I could not know
But I love your canopied gardens
And I love the way that you look in the green of day
I wonder if you knew
That I loved you
Despite everything they say you did to me
When they took you out
I wonder even now
If anyone could ever really understand
Someone who brought me into community
into a life of peace and simplicity
I'd rather be tending your gardens
Than going back to wasting my time in the fray
Oh I loved your canopied gardens
Oh I loved your canopied gardens
Oh I loved the way that you looked in the green of day

Dairy Free Now

as you get older, your body gets colder
your mind will go sour
i'm gettin' warmer, but as i informed ya
i'm dairy free now
there could be a reason, it could be the season
or the sun going down
i'd say a milk toddy is good for your body
but you're dairy free now

artifice
lies
compromise
they all disappear
they all go away
for a little while
at the end of the day
anxieties
memories
pain
it all goes away
between falling asleep
and beginning to dream
in that wide open space
everything disappears
and i'm finally free

Fomosurfer Lowell, Massachusetts
SONGS WITH TOO MANY WORDS SINCE 1995
Fomosurfer recommends:
the timeless classic from O.G. sad milkman INSPECTOR 34
go to album
Fiery biz-arre&B. This man is from the earth! Street sounds!
go to album
Anxiety Kinship
by Fred Cracklin
absolutely KSKSKKKKKKRKRROROOOOOOGGGGGGin' noise rock. guaranteed to move the kick drum 2 feet over the course of the set, with or without cinder block
go to albumIf you like Fomosurfer, you may also like:
supported by 4 fans who also own “Don't!”
most people would just retire after they make an album as good as IT IS GRAVY, but not INSPECTOR XXXIV! GRAVY had sounded like a direct confrontation with the realities of a quotidian existence, whereas LOVE MY LIFE is dreamier and more otherworldly.
go to album
Sparkling synthpop with an emphasis on high-wattage chords and the kind of melodies that burrow themselves deep in the brain.
go to album
See You Later
by Jake and Nolan
Beautifully moody songs that have psych-pop’s prismatic approach to melody and instrumentation.
go to album
