Pinback – Grey Machine Lyrics

Lie lie lie blinded

on the left side
a parking attendant sleeps
selling space and time

on the right side
a parking attendant sleeps
selling space and time

they have grasped the concept of property
understand that lengths of time can be twisted into
someone’s monetary advantage

they have grasped the concept of property
understand that lengths of time can be twisted into
someone’s monetary adventage.

but, i can see myself
in the building that stands across from me
reflecting in the sky
you can see yourself
swim along the giant whales down the street
reflecting in the sky

on sunny days
the people on the beach like ants in my food
they must have closed the mall

here comes whitey to exploit
the simple pleasures nature gave me
then try to tax them all

but, i can see yourself
in the building that stands across from me
reflecting in the sky
you can see yourself
swim along the giant whales down the street
reflecting in the sky

i can see yourself
in the building that stands across from me
reflecting in the sky
you can see yourself
swim along the giant whales down the street
reflecting in the sky

i can see myself (i can see myself)
in the building that stands across from me (i can see myself)
reflecting in the sky (it’s me in herd)
you can see yourself (you can see yourself)
swim along the giant whales down the street. (you can see yourself)
reflecting in the sky. (hey, look, it’s you)

i’m letting go
it’s scaring me
i’m letting go
it’s scaring me
i’m letting go
it’s scaring me

lay in the yard
curled in a ball
nails in your mouth
keys still in the car door
face in the dirt
smells more than clean
synapses tapped
you’re well out

on the side of the house
it’s burned in the ground
that secret code
that signal go
there’s a stain on the grass
that’s calling us home
you lie inside
for the transistor send

my heart skips a beat
my heart skips a beat

on the side of the house
it’s burned in the ground
that secret code
that signal go
there’s a stain on the grass
that’s calling us home
you lie inside
for the transistor send

lie lie lie blinded
lie lie lie blinded

out of reach
out of touch
out of ink
out of kindness (lie lie lie blinded)
never hazing new guys
out of teeth
out of thought
out of time
out of life (lie lie lie blinded)
like cattle grazing
your mind

on the way to the car
on the head of the stone
on the edge of the lake
on the end of the joke
on the crack of the floor
on the slab of the day
on the dent of the face
on the mind of the cop
on the scar of the rat
on the last of the calls
on the rest of the doc
on the smile of the kid

on the underside i’m letting go
they know we’re on to them
we know to avoid their snare
they’re pulling us back
we run for cover
escape is far
i’m letting go
it’s scaring me
break
i’m gonna break

pick me up
take me home
get me out of here
please

get me out of here
please
