| Modest Mouse – Steam Engenius Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The lyrics from the booklet of the deluxe edish of We Were Dead says that- I was born in a factory. Far away from the milky teat. What's the use!? Oh what's the use!? You cheered as I was split in half, a mechanical sacrificial calf for you. Oh all for you. Steam engenius you see, steam engenius enough to answer anything you need. But what's the use? Human nature was installed in me. I did what's right but naturally it wasn't natural. Still not my fault. I held in my hands the beating heart of a robot, he'd lost his car it was sitting there crying out waiting in the parking lot just for you going, "Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo." What a waste of time what a waste of words. What a waste of strength. Well I spoke in binary and you for volume and dizzying length. I was born in a factory, far away from the milky teat. What's the use!? Birds flew out as I was split in half. A mechanical sacrificial calf. They flew. Oh out they flew. Steam engenius you see. Steam engenius enough to answer anything you need and ah that speed. I held in my hands the beating heart of a robot, he'd lost his car, it was sitting there crying out waiting in the parking lot out for you going. What a waste of time. What a waste of words. What a waste of strength. Well I spoke in binary and you for volume and dizzying length. Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo! Both halves are the better half like a joke tryin' to make another joke laugh. Ha! Ha! Stasis is what you brought. Like a rickshaw getting pulled around by another rickshaw. In the past talkin' present tense. Gonna break it. Gonna wreck it. Gonna try to make it all make sence. Stasis is what you god. Like a rickshaw getting' pulled 'round by another rickshaw. Steam engenius you see! Steam engenius enough to bring my own dam doom. What could i do?! I blame blame that blame had grew. Well deep inside everybody knew it was them. It was all on them. Things rang of stories greek. I didn't want it, you gave me deity. It was you. Yeah all for you. I was born in a factory far away from the milky teat. What's the use?! I held in my hands the beating heart of a robot. He'd lost his car, he was sitting there crying out waiting in the parking lot just for you. Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo! I was thought up by man to think better than them then revered admired and then destroyed by them. Hell even all that was my own damn plan. Well what a waste of time what a waste of strength. Stasis is what you've got. Like a rickshaw getting pulled around by another rick shaw. - i hope this was good news. |
