lyrics

1.
Follow your dreams down into the mine
The canaries singing melodies from another time
They're lined up, subservient and reverent and dutiful
It's like something approaching the spiritual.

I'd love to take a shower, but
there aren't enough days in the hour

2.
The yellow suits in headlamps are
Watching Dutch pornography from the 1970's
Covered in black dust and governmental fallacies
They don't care that
They're working for criminal entities

I'd love to take a peek, but
There aren't enough months in the week

Black lung
Silver tongue
All the songs have now been sung

When the gas comes and turns us into micro bead diamonds
That make the worms bleed out inside canary stomach lining
Yellow bird distends and becomes the explosion
And sets another chain reaction in motion

I'd love to hold you near, but
There aren't enough decades in the year
