PINBACK LYRICS - BLUE SCREEN LIFE

Offline P.K.

The shock was fast
Shock, fast
The shock was fast

Blown cover.
Break. Fix.
Dead computer.
Up to speed and then rewinding
Up another grade.

I'm testing all circuits to see if they all work
I'm throwing on all switches to see which ones don't work

The shock was fast
Shock, fast
The shock was fast

Blood sucker.
Fat lip.
Silver bullet.
Now I need a part to hide in.
Now I need a play.

I'm testing all circuits to see if they all work
I'm throwing on all switches to see which ones don't work

Wish that I could leave my room tonight
The fast attack on my compressor's way too bright.
Think I got the threshold on too tight.
Just restart and hope that everything will be alright.

Mail off the rebate and send it to me.
It's running itself out.
Feel like a two-fer
Let's repair the machine
It's wearing itself out.

It feels like it could just go on forever.

Concrete Seconds

Sitting at a bus stop
Trying to take my shoes off
But my laces are all knots and you
Looking for an answer to an old question
So easy I can't explain it
And everything I say to you will probably
Come out wrong anyway

Made it to the trolley
Looking for my transfer
Cause the place is full of cops and you...
Looking for an answer to an old question
So easy I can't explain it
And everything I say to you will probably
Come out wrong anyway

You take my seat again...

Late at the station
Feeling all wound up
Got to walk several blocks past you.
Try to read a t-shirt
Thinks that I'm a pervert.
Sorry, wasn't getting fresh, but...
And everything I say to you will probably
Come out wrong anyway

It's there in front of me...

Sitting at a bus stop
Trying to take my shoes off
But my laces are all knots and you
Looking for an answer to an old question
So easy I can't explain it
And everything I say to you will probably
Come out wrong anyway

Made it to the trolley
Looking for my transfer
Cause the place is full of cops and you...
Looking for an answer to an old question
So easy I can't explain it
And everything I say to you will probably
Come out wrong anyway

You take my seat again...

Here to my house
In no seconds
Count the footsteps
Count the seconds
Near my house...

Boo

Inside this leaking submarine
The hull is closing in
The water is above my ankles
And I still can't get you off of my....
I don't think that we can pull this one off
We shall see, time will tell
But why does it taste like salt water inside of my mouth?

Some day I will sail again to a distant shore far away
I will sail again to a distant shore far away...

If the line snaps and there's no air
Will you hold me?
If I'm asleep, will you wake me?
If this rises and we hit the waves,
Will you dive back down?

Some day I will sail again to a distant shore far away
I will sail again to a distant shore far away...

Hi Ho
Something's tugging on my leg
And there it goes...

Shallow water must be on the horizon
But still too far to go
Spilling blood so fast I can't keep up much more
Sorry, sorry
Can't go no more...

BBTone

Inside the wave

Coming from behind the wall
Coming from beneath the floor
Suddenly I hear the sound
Suddenly a door appears
Steadily we climb again

The walls close in around me.
Old habits fade far from me
The ceiling falls about me
And the sky is open to me now
But my hands are tied
And the ropes are tight around my wrist.
Makes me sick
Think to hard on the other side
Can't stare too long at the softest light

Steadily we climb down
Step into a hidden room
Searchin' for another out
Found a tunnel heading down
Suddenly I hear the sound
Coming from behind the wall
Suddenly a light appears
Rapidly some something nears...

Old wounds get infected by the
Heat of an oven gone cold too long
Get my mind off the pain with the medicine
Just the idea of a thought
Brings it round again
Let my mind off the pain.
Off the pain

Bucket and a shovel
On a sand dune
Building castles
Knocking them down
Wading too far
Out of my sight
Gonna work me over
For a misdemeanor
In too long
Out of bed
Way too slow

In a found cut scene
From an empty film

Forever wishing
Someone near the goal
Forever pushing
Sisiphus would know
Forever wasting
Promise as it goes
Foresenics (sic) show
A summer in the hole, buddy

Hands from the sky
Rip me open

Penelope

Oh, Penelope
Are you filled with air?
Swallowed oxygen that make you float up?

Is it dropsy?
Where your lungs swell?
It's depressing me to see you struggle.

I'm treading water with my oars
Glass galleons anchored, ocean's floor
I'm diving down with all my gear
In search of treasure, para me corazon...

Take you to the forest.
Let you feel the raindrops falling down
Seeping through your red scales
Eliminate the faucet
Eliminate the need for water
Replace it with a safe shell

Don't want to see you floating upside down
On the top of the bowl when I come around to visit you

No, girl
Need you there
Release that air

I'm treading water with my oars
Glass galleons anchored, ocean's floor
I'm diving down with all my gear
In search of treasure, para me corazon...

Take you to the forest.
Let you feel the raindrops falling down
Seeping through your red scales
Eliminate the faucet
Eliminate the need for water
Replace it with a safe shell

If they summon the rains now
Are you gonna rise?

Talby

They came from so far away (cellars of Norway)
Where children play in viking bands (sun won't shine all day)
No one seemed to notice
That they came that distance
They just stood outside and
Smoked and talked their business

Play that song again
And go to hell when you die
Wave goodbye at you
As you tune your guitars

And they played and you watched
And you yelled at the drummer
As he poured on the flames
And you passed out on key

Play that song again
And go to hell when you die
Wave goodbye at you
As you tune your guitars...

Gettin' that band outta my sight...

And they played and you watched
Till the end of the summer
When they boarded their planes
And you walked out
Soaked up and sweating
And I'm forever empty

X.I.Y.

Got to wipe my feet off, now
Got to kick the shoes
There's a lot of empties on the ground
Got to fill some new ones
I know some day they're gonna
Exercise a reasonable amount
Of strain on my simple way

A simple lack of feeling
A simple lack of fuel
A simple lack of energy to play,
Create, and make it through the day
I know some day they're gonna
Exercise a reasonable amount
Of strain on my simple way

I know some day they're gonna separate
The part of the brain that can discriminate
The friendly from the enemy

You are the enemy...

There's a lot of bodies on the ground
I know. I used to be one
I learned I'm not the kind of guy
Who'd cheat a friend to make it through the day

I know some day they're gonna
Exercise a reasonable amount
Of strain on my simple way

You are the enemy...

Prog

We head for land
We're pressed for time
We head for land
Request the time
I moved away
I know the way
I looked away...

Your eyes
My skin
Your pool
All in

I'm all ready
Dry ice
Dry eyes
Keep it low around here

Within without
Fall in fall out
Without within
Breathe out
I'm all wrapped in dry ice

Keep it low around here

Your Sickness

Something we both saw
Shattered all of us
Something we both saw
Mattered all along

In spite of all our work
In spite of all our energy
Because of all our ignorance

Something we both saw
Shattered all of us
Something we both saw
Mattered all along

Took us for a ride
Way, way off of course

Gotta admit you got us good
All this time I never got
Gaffle like that
We believed all we heard

Got a mouth
Insert the hook
Reel us in
Chain pulling man
We trusted you
See you later

Never hurts, but it never
Helps to read before you sign

Seville

They're gonna kill us all

Oh sheena kneels
And prays over the graves
And wishes of her god to be so brave
The roses she had picked
Fall from her hand
On to the ground which
Will soon hold her

Sheena Bella

Sheena Bella walks and
Sheena Bella strays
Oh, fetal Sheena counts off her last days
The colors of the grass
The shadows on the floor
The precious things that she
Had no time for

She was only 4 years old
She was barely 4 years old

Sheena Bella

They're gonna kill us all

West

Take me there to the west
For I've been waiting to see you

Girl looks so sad
Hair slicked back with raindrops
From her walk outside
It's good to be sad, sometimes
No need to hide your doe eyes
Light from the air
Red as the rose wrapped
'Round her feet
Yellow flower cup
Reflects on her chin
Some would pay to know why

Take me there to the west
For I've been waiting to see you

I'd move, I'd move away...

Can't see for sure.
Buckets of blood fall from her eyes
Tears burn right through the floor
No one knows why, or understands
How she can cry in this way
The Episun must have take'd one of her eyes

Tres

Another tear in the sea
Another drop in the ocean
After the fall
Waiting to sink

Oh, solo mio

It's all right now
Come closer
Talk to me

Oh, solo mio
Sah fasa gan

There's a definite feeling
Buried down
Wrecking itself
Taking you with me

The more they was
The more they were
The more they wander from

There's a terrible reason...
