My Senses Never Fail Me

from Coin Toss Timelines by Little Big Toe

/

lyrics

Stepping out into snow with bare feet is unpleasant
And I won’t do it anymore
Moving furniture up and down stairs causes backaches
So I’ll just glue my feet to the ground
Making drinks so strong where I can’t taste the cola
Leaves me waking up with swollen hands
And reaching into my wallet for a donation
Leaves bruises in my bank account

Pretty soon I’ll forget what I just said
Brain cells can take a beating for many rounds
Pay attention cause I’m lipsinking all the words
And leave up to voiceovers for the correct sounds

Slowing down for an officer just causes traffic
So I might as well hit the gas
Even if it causes danger I’ll just keep driving erratic
And defensive drivers will let me pass
And even if women and children are present
I’ll roll down the windows and out of courtesy, I’ll yell, “Be careful.
There’s a lot of crazy people in this world that could hurt you
So you might as well stay inside.”

I’ll start a fire with a bundle of branches
And make a signal to a therapeutic actress
We’ll play a game of make believe, I’ll be the doctor
With a long history of malpractice

Sounds like someone’s got a cough
I heard a blackened lung dressed up in nicotine with eyes soaked in visine
Which makes red pupils white, but you’re not fooling me
Though I’m an amputee, my senses work just fine

(I’ll start an argument with a stranger just to vent all my pent up criticisms
And even if he makes a valid point, I’ll plug the lobes
And build a sculpture in an underground museum where everyone is dressed in camouflage and blends into scenery
Imitation’s flattery, especially when it’s louder than the original
But nothing can compare to the first and we’ll have to pretend
That the noises in my head are all just imaginary)

(I’ll break a barrier with a clenched fist just to numb all the endings that my fingers had the nerve to lift, and even if I break a single bone, it will be worth it just to tell the story at a dinner party where everyone is dressed in suit and tie, the extras in movies where black and white is the scheme and sound is dubbed, the magic of machines, director’s cut on dvd, in different tongues and deleted scenes, am I paranoid or are all the noises in my head all just imaginary?)
