he chews with a rotten satisfaction
his teeth are grinding in the night
the living can't get all the action
striations sparkle in the light
when it started
with a finger
thought I must have
just forgotten
when it started
with a finger
thought it just might
go away
oh I've been workin for so long
to animate my legacy
the disappointment's overwhelming
i can't bear to see it

A Better Trap

they won't escape me anymore
they won't survive the heat
they just keep prying at the door
after the smell of meat
worked for seven months
to trap these sons a'
This time it has to work
for me this has to work
build a better
build a better trap
build a better
build it better

sometimes it's just too much for me
this film is so persistent
coax it down the floor drain
just like we're grating cheese
sometimes I just want to stop
I can't think
something else inside controlling
my mind
watching as my body moves
despite my will
sterilize it for the one
before he wakes

oh all these moving parts
you know they throw me for a loop
I see the engine turning over there
these guys must think I'm stupid
I don't have the slightest clue
what this red button does
I think I'll press it
I think I'll press it
the eyes are peering from the dark
the wind is kickin' in and
I suggest we grab the bloody map
before the fight begins
I don't have the slightest clue
what this red button does
I think I'll press it
I think I'll press it (with harmonies)

quiet trajectory
no breath to exhale
in the void
a life boat
dying in the cold
on this trajectory
cut off by the ones
who sent me
out here with this
junk
flung into the void
alone
forever with this
I can feel it fading
icy calm is calling
planetesimal demise
embrace the gentle falling

he has a target on his back
so helpless we can't bear to watch
pink fur and green eyes can't detract
from his humanity
it's not his fault we're always late
time travel's just not what you think
emerging from a hole in space
to put a stop to this crime
punt the rabbit
don't punt the rabbit
No!
punt the rabbit don't
don't punt the rabbit
No!
punt the rabbit don't
don't punt the rabbit
No!
these little punks ran us around
the galaxy but now we found them
we'll make this the final lesson
