we could eat like kings
but we'd rather they don't eat
we'd rather they don't have heads
so we'll eat like executioners

what did you think would happen?
reconciliation at the point of no return
did it hurt to find you knew
that nothing would happen, and you would be burned
turn a new leaf and fall off a tree
nothing you say will phase me
what did you expect?
next to no expression coming from the head
did it hurt to know
you'd still be writing songs about me in bed
turn a new leaf and fall off a tree
nothing you say will phase me
pick out your eyesores and call it a day
catch a butterfly and throw it away
nothing you do will change me

All The Young Hopefuls

all the young hopefuls standing in line
winter coats and hats on oh the worst they have is no sunshine
I’m keeping myself up on cough drops
keeping myself up but maybe I shouldn’t
younger eyes await the same fate
age shouldn’t have to make them wait
pray tell those eager next to die

Head Balloons

there, written in his tomb
he owned a thousand wives
led quite expensive lives
reincarnated into a saint
in olive paint
sent his blessings through a sewer drain
there, written near her head
she made a thousand beds
tried quite expansive drugs
became one with the bugs
though dazzled quite
her irises ghostly white
walking closer to intimidating light
and we will know them soon
who do you think’s on the head balloons?

Small Thunder

|
|
||
|
avoid your Pellegrino game
desecrate your pop-punk name
everything sounds the same
small thunder roaring
under the porch light
if the side takes off
what will you do?
tackle the armrest
bury the headphones
that snow globe was too good for you

atonement looks far away
perhaps I’ll never say
everything I need to
knowing it may bleed you out
no one will ever know how this feels
at least from where I stand
water pouring through the hole in my hand
and in my head
better off dead

Old Time Folk

old time fucking up
wet loose and head in ass
I try to find the switch to make it stop
all time lower lower
I sit older older
all to a halt as I further the drop
where did all the time go?
went over there
in a pit of disdain and misery
and any other words you can name
if this is a game
I’m so far behind
I need a sober penalty
because everyone else is high on life

Ride Away
01:16
|
|
||
|
at the eve of this summer
we look out at the horizon
it’s shaped like a moon
and I’ll be there soon
taking the plastic wing for a ride
away

Everybody Sleeps
00:54
|
|
||
|
through trials and tribulations I unravel
down many bumpy roads where I have traveled
up grassy hills and foggy dreams
where trees bend over and pick up the change
high maker says “keep”
low namer’s a creep
and everybody sleeps

two individuals
standing next to each other
not facing or noticing
they turn to enter a set of revolving doors
the man walks in just fine
and celebrates his arrival
and heads for his terminal
the woman struggles
somehow the door is making it quite difficult
it takes a while
finally it lets her in
she feels tired
but happy
two individuals
walking to the same gate
for the same plane
first class
the third individual wasn’t shown the doors

This is a great album. Kinda like if Guided By Voices used GarageBand instead of a 4-track.

Ten years may have passed since the last Bellini record, but the math rock group sound as fierce as ever.

The enigmatic Frank Ene's solo record lives in a magical world where Serge Gainsbourg fronts Yellow Magic Orchestra.
