lyrics

I know you're
thinking to
your Self

(I hope)

this is even half as cathartic
for Norm Macdonald
as it is for me--

him watching with his arms crossed--
you crushing a florescent light-bulb
onto a series of
colorful rugs you pulled
across the alter

their shards illuminating
the air between your Self
and just pew after pew
after pew of the most
confused and confusing
somewhere within there
two men decide this was

a bad idea
and you run
literally grasping at that same air
in front of you
pulling your hands
silhouetted
if you could just get a grip
if you could

if you could just get a grip
if you could

if you could just get a grip
if you could

even if you could
if you could just get a grip

even if you could get just so much
as a handle

even if you would
you would tug

and you would tug
and you would tug it like a rope
and pull yourself
and swim toward nothing

instead you're just stuck,
spinning slightly

but if you
if you could just get a grip
you would
you would

C L A Y T O N
P U R D O O O M

intuition orphan
is like a tea-timer
in the corner of
your ear

the doctor will see you now
but the doctor will
always see you now

right now somehow
even you
can't see you
now

right now
you're thinking,
"I feel some sort of purpose.."

just don't
look down

just don't...

..look......
