Laser Life

These are the correct lyrics from the booklet. Enjoy.

Oh, Team Machine! I'm a pound of flesh in a drum machine's dream. We watch crabs and lobsters eat a dead cop's throat And stuff our mouths with gutted stereos.

Oh, Team Machine! Every single piano I've ever met in my life Never sounded as good as melted Casio keys Burning in a sea that sings out in 3-D.

Oh, that Laser Rain kept me up all night again Scratching at the window like a bright colored beast, Cursing at the dawn like an adulterous priest.

Shake your hands (Like they're full of feathers!) Shake your wings (Like they're laced with sound!) Shake your skin (Like a scrambled TV!) Gnash your teeth like a flamingo swarm.

I think my night unplugged its life. Digital sunrise! Digital sunset!

Oh, Team Machine! The world's got no end and it's got no beginning. Now I'm coughing up maracas and tambourines, Looking over cliffs of eternity.

Shake your hands (Like they're full of disaster!) Shake your wings (Like they're painted with tar!) Shake your skin (Like it's sewn with insects!) Gnash your teeth like an exploding car.

And if your night unplugs its life Blame it on the Laser Rain. And if your life unplugs its eyes Blame it on the Laser Rain.

Because you can't blame the sun, it's been bought and sold To a day that's never dawning. And you can't blame the sky, it collapsed twelve times; Now it's buried in a digital coffin. So you climb out to your windowsill As the drum machines laugh to themselves.

As for the meaning...

We rely on computers and technology to guide us through our daily lives. Americans in the 17th century, however, did not. Of course, they were religious lunatics who believed that Nebraska was a witch, but anyway...

Every single piano i've ever met in my life never sounded as good as melted Casio keys burning in a sea that sings out in 3-D.

Brilliant. xD

Guys, the Blood Brothers don't have some "bigger picture" thing going on. They just have their odd and cooky sense of humor.

This song, kinda like My First Kiss... is a scenario set up in a world different from ours. Think of a robot living in an all-robot world. He thinks of organic life, including humans, and it's nightmarish to him. From there, this song "I'm a pound of flesh in drum machine's dream" is a human being satirical of the robot world, depicting himself as an evil creature.

It's cute, it's clever, it's awkward; it's catchy. It's not meant to be a huge deal or a world statement. It's just fun: thats what the Blood Brothers are.

Something tells me about half of these lyrics are off, although I may be wrong

I believe the one line is "The world's got no end, and got no beginning."

The

get your health so right. get your health so sick. get your health set right, yeah.

part is

Digital sunrise! Digital sunset! Digital sunrise! YEAH!

Most of this sounds on, but some parts sound off, but I can't put my finger on what they are.

I really want to see the lyrics for Giant Swan.

i can't wait to see the rest of the lyrics for all of the songs.

giant swan is pretty good, its one of there longest songs at a little under 6 minutes.

i changed the digital sunrise bit.

awesome awesome song.

i think (like Hykinix) its

"the world's got no end, got no beginning"

and not

" the worlds got me wet, i got no beginning"
