Atmosphere

from Madhouse of Invention by The Contrast

/

lyrics

there’s a catfish x-ray laser beam
firing into the back of my mind again
and something’s going mad
things are not what they seem
it’s coming to a head but who knows when

the atmosphere is very thin on mars
my antenna is picking up all your scars

i missed your name i missed your act
i hope you didn’t fall for that suicide pact
your smile’s blank it’s insincere
don’t get lost in the atmosphere

i’ve been sending coded messages to keep my mind blank
i don’t want to end up like my dead friend frank
i’ve been calling you for hours sending artificial flowers
trying to distract you from all the dark powers

the atmosphere is terrible in here
there’s too much love and hate and fear

i saw a plastic fox with the wings of a bat
an unknown face in my mirror
i was trying not to tell you any of that
but it slipped out when i saw you shiver

the atmosphere is charged with nervous monsters
there’s a trap but you can’t see it
