man is unfinished animal

feeding on helpless spoken word

why can't this iron jaw elate

and speak with the tongues of angels



hey

do you hear a word i say

a simple you're ok is underrated

is there anyone listening

hey

don't turn and walk away

a vital you're ok i think would do it

is there anyone listening



there are words more precious than jewels

buried beneath the thought of you

they hide in the corner of your soul

a verbal kaleidoscope



this detonator in my mouth

armed with some touchy dynamite

blasting a pocketful of screams

scattering frequencies



calling iron jaw

can't you hear me call

i'm right here



thought

keep it in the vault

it's not your fault

no one likes to hear the pain

killers

killer pain

so insane

asylum where you live

large

but who's in charge

card

credit check

reject

eject

cassette

tape is stuck

pig

got an apple in your mouth



you know you gotta dial

1 800 help

you need somebody

help

is on the way

out of breath

start to shake

speare

without a pen

you vow to escape

from the jaws of life

sucks

then you die

it's a lie

on the beach

soaking up the son of god

'cause he can hear you
