All Lined Up Lyrics

Tired of all this crawling around
Realising the joke was on us
Reaching out to the obvious
Starting with an answer not a question
Our most acceptable businesses
All aligned in just one direction
Organised on the same lines
With one face - one side

We got all lined up
We got all lined up
We got all lined up
All lined up
All lined up

Back at the all night party
We're getting clearer all the time
Refined to one shape - frozen like crystal
It has the symmetry of perfect design
One line leads to another
They cross at the corners run straight at the sides
It reads the same way in any direction
Two red circles and a thick black spine

We got all lined up
We got all lined up
We got all lined up
All lined up
All lined up

Let it fall into place we could tie it to a tree
We could point it at you we could make it a habit
We could leave it outside or we could give it our food
Understand it or we could ignore it

Holding all our past in the one hand
We showed those people in a way they understand
Shiny little eyes on a big red bus
The ones we point at work for us
One sharp point between distinction
Going this way for X amount of time
Frame - line - and convergence
From the first to the final
This intention is mine

We got all lined up
We got all lined up
We got all lined up
All lined up
All lined up

(repeat chorus)

I'm not sure about the song in general, but the 2nd verse contains the sentences:

"Back at the all night party, we're getting clearer all the time."

and

"One line leads to another"

I've been to an all night party or two where we felt like we were "getting clearer all the time," and one line (of powdered stimulants) sure did lead to another....

My Interpretation

It's not 'Two red circles and a thick black spine', that's a mistake that is all over the internet. It's 'Two red circles and a thick black SPOT' - in other words a bullseye. We're a target.
