One Hundred and Twenty-Seven Pedestrians Lyrics

If there's something you want to see

Let me get it

You know what I mean

Dawn came every day

But we just don't know it

No one answered

But she crept along the side of it

In between smooth rubber waves

To find out how far you'll fall

From that enormous mound of sand

That formed her name

With three inch thick foam covered boards

The light from above there

Now touched the pavement

Teeming with one hundred and twenty-seven pedestrians

He sat absolutely still

And he thought of the beach

As the beeping noise continued

His hands went to his mouth

The rotting tongue and lips

Were teasing and licking

As electric tingles shot through his brain

But he came back again and again

The air struck him in the face

Too hot to breathe

He didn't make a sound

He took a deep breath

Smiled and gestured

His bare skin was warm against the portable radio

He scratched his neck and all at once

Swung away from the apparition

And opened the screen behind him

But he couldn't see

And he stumbled down some sort of long

Long thread of electronic vomit

People with long hair bushy hair absorb the signal

But the metal had suddenly become red hot

He saw steel-grey mountains

And lush green neurological energy

Straighten out the familiar features

He ran down the stairs to the dumpster

Leaving safety

Leaving a five foot high glowing object

That had just pulled from the black and grey striped sheets

Glass fragments were scattered across the bedspread

Noise had to be kept to a minimum

No-one can touch and feel a mirage

Embracing a switch that caused different images

To be displayed on the concrete wall

There was a wet gurgling noise

And suddenly the beeping stopped
