Sredni Vashtar went forth, His thoughts were red thoughts and his teeth were white. His enemies called for peace, but he brought them death. Sredni Vashtar the Beautiful. Sredni Vashtar went forth, His thoughts were red thoughts and his teeth were white. His enemies called for peace, but he brought them death. Sredni Vashtar the Beautiful. Sredni Vashtar, go forth! Your thoughts are red thoughts and your teeth will soon match. Your enemies call for peace, but you bring them death! Sredni Vashtar the Beautiful!

Computed Tomography Blues 02:46
lyrics

I got them computed tomography blues While wearing green jeans instead of red My surroundings are as white as snow And sterile as a patient's bed My head is being looked at By the oracles of orthopaedics They're taking a good look at my brain To see what makes me tick Sick! (last bar of second verse- apply extra echo?) (chorus) In a computerised world Why is flesh still relevant? I got them facial shield blues Because there's nothing a lil' radiation can fix It's not my fault that I chose to look Like a bag of rotting fish My head is being looked at Through a pixellated lens What will they find in this horror of horros? Well that all depends Friends! (chorus) (solo) I got them waiting-for-test blues A really severe case of the greys To wait and see what makes me me Why does it have to take days? My head fills with horrid thoughts Of things eating it alive And I take drastic measures To make sure that I survive Live! (chorus) Sick!

Do you want the seaside To go in a landslide? Do you want to see me Looking at your pony? Roasted and toasted Broken and basted It tastes delicious With tuna fishes Ahhhhhh Horses for courses Seeing the forces Working on your mind A mind so unkind Do you want to see me? Do you want to feel me? Do you wanna touch me? Do you wanna kill me? Ahhhhhh Is this what you wanted? Are you just that haunted? Do you want to see me Hanging like a trophy? Do you want to love me? Do you want to kill me? Horses for fishes Breaking the dishes Ahhhhhh Life as a sinewave Life at an octave Is this what you're after? Is this what you're wanting? Ride you like a phony Drink you like a trophy This is what I'm after To go with the laughter Hahahahaha (solo) I am just a poor boy From a poor saveloy Why do you so hate me? Why am I so horny? You are tanned and sculpted You are pale and puckered I am only one of these Guess which one if you please Ahhhhhh Life as a sinewave Life at an octave Hard to be neutral Good to be concave Bad to be outraged Worse to be outmade Broken and basted War is overrated Ahhhhhh (solo) Finally it happened Finally it's something Something to remind me A romantic finding Why do I so love you? Is it just what you do? Horses for courses Breaking the forces Aaaaaah

It was just one year ago That you broke my heart As is traditional I'll begin at the start You went out with Julie While Johnny was gone You broke our heathen promises To love another one (chorus) Why must you be a teenager in heat? You took her to the burger stand And another world Through this euphemism You made her your girl Everyday I die a little Die a little inside When I see the whole wide world Continuing its slide (chorus) (solo) (chorus) Now Julie's pregnant And you are the one Why did you go out with her While Johnny was gone? Now I'm not into babies But I'm into you Or at least I used to be Until you said "we're through" (chorus to end)

When I created my tulpa It grew inside of me When I created my tulpa It changed my history It took the signs of my past And made me wonder why It grabbed me by the nerves And I think I'm going to die (chorus) Loving you Is hard to do But breaking up Is through When I created my tulpa I didn't know what to expect I was young and foolish Which means I was incorrect The curse is incorrupt Like an old fashioned saint Rainbow body they say To never rot away (chorus) When I created my tulpa It duplicated my angst It took me by the neck And spread towards my pants And then it hit my feet I trembled and I shook I wallow in my pity While the universe is cooked (chorus) (solo) Now I've created my tulpa I have to live with it A life shared is a life lost And the Bermuda Triangle has it I don't know how they live Or if they can be killed But if I take it by the sword My dream will be fulfilled (chorus x2)

The Cosmology of Belinda Carlisle 03:54
lyrics
buy track
In theological circles, there has always been debate over what lies beyond this life. Catholics say most will go to purgatory. Muslims tend to believe we'll go straight to heaven or hell depending on how we've performed during our lives. Many Protestants believe this too; others believe that we'll lay in the ground until Jesus comes to resurrect us. If you substitute Jesus with an unnamed Messiah who also happens to have lineage from the House of King David, the latter is also a popular Jewish position. Another belief with a lot of subscribers is reincarnation. Hindus say we'll cycle through many lives until we reach a state of god-consciousness. Buddhism, in line with its general not putting too much emphasis on the whole God thing, calls this state nirvana. Generally, believers in reincarnation reject the idea of an afterlife, but some Buddhists believe in an intermediate state. This is known as the bardo in the Tibetan tradition- one might be familiar with the 1960s beat combo The Third Bardo. But are there really three or more bardos in a fashion similar to the seven heavens? Atheists and secular humanists tend to take philosophical as opposed to theological approaches- the former tending not to believe in an afterlife whereas the latter sees religious concepts as metaphors for things more tangible. The noted orator Belinda Carlisle said that heaven is a place on earth, a typically humanist position. But does love really come first on earth, as she suggests? The answer is a resounding no. Wars, famines and political unrest have shaken this planet for as long as we've been inhabiting it. Maybe even longer, assuming the animal kingdom has disputes over similar issues. Most scientists believe global warming, climate change and general environmental irresponsibility pose a threat to all life on earth. There are still places where out-of-favour groups are treated worse than vermin, and there are still people willing to defend this discrimination. There are countries where disease is rampant and countries where violence is a fact of daily life. And not just in the socalled "third world" either. If anything, HELL is a place on earth. The Gehenna referred to in the Bible is a real place, located in what has become a warzone, emblematic of the strife that precludes this floating space rock from ever becoming "heaven". So screw you, Belinda Carlisle, and screw your happy little utopia where we all join hands and sing Kumbaya in a rose garden. God never promised us a rose garden. (coda) Do you see the light my friend? Do you see the light? Do you see the light my friend? Do you see the light? Do you see the light my friend? Do you see the light? Do you see the light my friend? Do you see the light?
