The Man On The Internet Lyrics

The burning trees outside your door turn shocking flat in two dimensions

Your friend who is a saint is crazy and yelling at cars on the street

While the afterbirth of the computer world singes your lips

A wiry haze of hot phantoms lingers on the telephone wires

Making messages for governments and citizens

With numbers and bibles and physics

The psychedelic limelight of your mind twists through time

In a century made of laughter stretched bitterly through code

This feverish feel sits as jelly in the air as strangers dance with electronics

Superman unveils a fresh philosophy

Musclemen flex in identical outfits

The implants in your brain seize your muscles and lead you to a temple

The lithium in your computer sizzles as you walk

The internet downs another victim

All the men on YouTube have a synchronized orgasm

And your wonderful heart leaps at the beauty of the morning

Everyone in your dreams is you

Everyone in your dreams is you

Each human being is supreme supreme

You find yourself beside a cave

Where a vibrating and uncanny creature needs you to make a decision

Its legs are showing bone and smell like carrion

It knows your power and is waiting for you to choose

Will you hold it as it dies in the sun

Or will you drag it back into the cave to live in agony again?

Now that you are seeing it again in the daylight

Will you let an awful mercy take it home

Or will you keep it for yourself in the darkness of you?

Which is the curse? Which is the power

Is there a curse? Is there a power

Which is the curse? Which is the power

Is there a curse? Is there a power

Which is the curse? Which is the power

Is there a curse? Is there a power

Which is the curse? Which is the power

Is there a curse? Is there a curse

Which is the curse
