lyrics

there's frost and ice floats all around my glass
there's lots of holes drilled in the heads of the kids in my class

it took some time to find a clock
a place of glaciers where hours stop
out the window on this floor
would be a seven story fall or more!

your death is all around my glass

now we are mutants on ice floats contested in ambiguous space
there's a treatment of course, we make our cuts & re-paste
there's frost and ice floats all around my glass

FEMA camps are coming to your town soon!
you'd better look our for troop movements
because you won't see it on the local news

then i saw the world through these eggshell eyes
an eight year old who had lost a screw was sitting by my side

it took some time to find a clock
a place of glaciers where hours stop
out the window on this floor
would be a seven story fall or more!

oh, but all that broken glass!

now we are mutants on ice floats arrested in ambiguous space
there's a treatment of course, we make our cuts & re-paste
there's frost and ice floats all around my glass

by now the keebler elves, they've all long since died of cancer
because the modern death panels are you smart sense crackers

waiting & waiting
&washing the dirt from my arms as an eel swims
in an endless circle

x
x
but of my reprieve - it could be sudden 'cuz
by now I'm sure you have received a letter
from my embassy
