Oh, Get Foreshortened, Man, Get Normal Lyrics

Now!

Petulant zombies

What do they matter?

Growl at the neighbors

We're building a city

For rational men to make

Nihilist chatter

Stay warm at heart

Don't worry the details

Go parading the stars

Feel like a child

Sinking into his mother's arms

History's finished!

Like in the nineties but

This time it's different

My world is swimming and

All's right with it

Part of a whole like

An organ suspended

Outside of the body

No fires and no alarms

Something could happen

But not for a while

Something could happen

Better not get tired

Do what you can

Make petite corrections

Stand perfectly still

Get in a question

Been thinking it through

Maybe the answer

Wants nothing to do with you

Maybe there's already

An elephant caterwauling

In every room

Bloom under pressure

Process and ponder

All at your leisure

Oh, can you imagine?

Panic through pleasure

A stress on the muscles

I bet you've never had to measure

All pictures are of pictures

All stories are of stories

All names are of names are of names

I try to keep perspective, yeah,

But time is moving strange

I get foreshortened, man, I get normal

This i try to allow

But through my window

I see all things here and now!

Here and now!

Oh, here and now!

Here and now!

I don't want to get even

I don't want to debate

The morning sun

Will crack its skull upon my holy name!

Now!

Speak in abbreviations

Secretly love it

Impotent coward

Hate feeling sober

Feed me lines through an earpiece

I think about nothing

Drop of sweat on the eyelash

Or an ache in the shoulder

A hill I can't get over

A physical union

A shout that I hear in the dead of night

It's awfully human

Hey keep your composure!

You gotta perform

Say you believe it

Go choke if you don't

You can get a big head

But know your place in a

Room full of friends

Keep your voice in that tone

Keep that smile off your mind

You've never really been alone

All crises eternal all themes universal

All friends parasocial there's no other way

Sea of spit and milk drawn through

All points in empty space

Oh, I get foreshortened, man, I get normal

Yeah this I try to allow

But through my window

I see all things here and now!

I don't want to get even

I don't want to debate

The morning sun

Will crack its skull upon my holy name!

All I want will continue

All I want is to remain

All I want will continue

All I want is to remain
