lyrics

Down in the valley and deep below sea level
there's been a down pour and it looks like trouble
Converting jetties, out of the back yard
like Ferlinghetti communing in words
We fuse in consoles, you shut us out
we use our muscles, we work it out
We see the big men, talk from afar
We know they're big men because of their cars

Lapsed, lapsed, lapsed humanity
Lapsing and we're fasting
as we fall into insanity
Lapsed, lapsed, lapsed humanity
Lapsing as we fad away
2x

The rabbit cage is getting all washed out
commencing rabbles washed in the waters
and in the Summer, we drink a plenty
burn down their fences and run down their yards
Flying in jet streams Swimming in vane waves
Aspen and fangs and empiric proofs
while listening up to hear from the big men
iconic gestures and Teutonic dudes

Lapsed, lapsed, lapsed humanity
Lapsing and we're fasting
as we fall into insanity
Lapsed, lapsed, lapsed humanity
Lapsing as we fad away
2x
