about

I used the cut up technique author William S. Burroughs was known for from his book "The Soft Machine". I arranged them in an order I felt made sense to me. To me it feels like it's about being a junkie and/or under government mind control.

Read Burroughs! If you didn't like "Naked Lunch" I'd highly recommend "Nova Express" and "The Soft Machine".

lyrics

Paging Dr. Benway

(All phrases taken or based on William S. Burroughs’ ‘The Soft Machine’)

Shoot your way to freedom kid
In your invisible and persistent dream body
As the whole temple came down
You fixed in the sick dawn flutes of Ramadan

The Dead Man writes for you
Familiar faces in vacant lots
Draws those formulas on the floor
Dodging limestone skulls

Thought in focus of heavy blue silence
Cigarette holes in the pink blanket
Running loose looking for priests
Stages of disgusting metamorphosis

It could happen again here
Free yourself from the control beam
