lyrics

Michael:
They take our dear girl Katy into a room with windows closed
And make her take the tansan, what they call a heroic dose
And sure enough 10 minutes later, she disappears and hell
And i swear all them government jackals all start peein themselves
Katy:
A thousand little slaps a thousand kicks when you are down
The stabs with daggers as you just begin to turn around
The blithe offhand abasements til there's tears upon your face
A thousand days that casually just make your poor heart break

A thousand little slanders, slap the ice cream from your hand
When you were tear stained and defenseless that's when the real insults began
The glee with which a thousand petty cruelties are adhered
Your defilement is something they either love or do not care

I hope you bleed and rot in places where the sun will never shine
And the stench makes all around you in disgust recoil and cry
I hope you all start choking til you beg for one last breath
I hope your lives all spiral into pestilence and death

You can all go burn in bonfires where you shriek in ghastly pain
And i hope i live to see it, i hope i get to light the flame
I am done being your victim, watching all your heartless deeds
Your death’s i hope asphyxiation on excrement in extreme

Michael:
This is all years ago now, in a place thats far away
A place about which Other people like me have had lots more to say
Theres been big ol grand Sagas and sweeping, epic regales
Some that have sat and heard it even say its all just characters in tales

But each one of those chatacters is a world, each ones a big sweet deal
Every passion and longing and heattbreak and doomed struggle, they’re all real
I just tell their stories, and cry every time
And drown myself here in, i know, much too much wine

But whether or not i wonder how much longer i can take
Telling these tales, so many stories and so much goddamn pain
All right, but This tale’s about katy, whose taken that damn drug
And finds herself transported to a prairie in another time and thus

She sees that damn folder that caused all this fool fuss
And so she goes ahead and just picks the thing on up
But then she starts walking, she figures shes got
About 2 hours more til this drug wears itself on off

She aims to keep walking as far she can get
Far from that warehouse, the police, and the life she has led

Paul Shapera Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Cama’s attempt to commune with higher beings failed; she only found Decadent Dottie. Together they roamed, indulging in dangerous forms of psycho-neural self-exploration which Cama hoped would present the key to her people’s further evolution. It only led to her destroying her people so that one of their pets could evolve. She sat in her former civilization's rubble and listened to Paul Shapera. ... more
