Only Existing Footage Lyrics
Fix the overheads the glare's become too much at last
Have somebody try to boost morale amongst the cast
Thermoses of coffee in the frozen dawn
Blow a fuse and spend an hour just trying to get the power back on
Space heater starves it out again
Something's gotta give
Oblivion's been calling since it found out where I live
Try to grab another take before the night descends
Blocking's pretty good but there's a gate-hair on the lens
And the script girl's wandered off so we improvised the plot
Lousy continuity, the coats won't match from shot to shot
Light meter's broken down again
Soundtrack doesn't sync
Annihilation pouring since it found out where I drink
Red-eye back to Belgrade with the footage we can save
End up with one can because the baggage claim's an unmarked grave
Hold off the backers, put a notice in the press
Oblivion's been knocking since I gave it my address
Have somebody try to boost morale amongst the cast
Thermoses of coffee in the frozen dawn
Blow a fuse and spend an hour just trying to get the power back on
Something's gotta give
Oblivion's been calling since it found out where I live
Blocking's pretty good but there's a gate-hair on the lens
And the script girl's wandered off so we improvised the plot
Lousy continuity, the coats won't match from shot to shot
Soundtrack doesn't sync
Annihilation pouring since it found out where I drink
End up with one can because the baggage claim's an unmarked grave
Hold off the backers, put a notice in the press
Oblivion's been knocking since I gave it my address

I think it's a metaphor for perseverance under the guise of a low-budget film shoot.
"Oblivion's been calling since it found out where I live.."
Such a great line.
