BUSH: The Science Of Things


Warm Machine

I memorize the basics
Making strange faces
Tread slowly for I know
There's a thousand miles to go
Without blinking 
Gravitate spacewards
Find a home for the head
From my basement 
No darkness ever left 

This is the night 
This is the sound
Here comes the warm machine
Such a warm machine

Some days are playful
Making play faces 
But we will not let it through 
The darkness and the sense
Or being born to lose 

This is the night 
This is the sound 
Her comes the warm machine 
Such a warm machine
This is the life
This is the sound 
Here comes a warm machine 
Such a warm machine

If I never know we can only feel
I'll take the help I'll take a slice 
Warm alright now cos I feel alright
I memorize the basics, basics, basics 

This is the night
This is the sound
Here comes the warm machine



Jesus Online

Whatever she wants from me
Whatever device 
Whether in kindness 
Whether in spite 
What can I say
What can I do 
I can't help myself
I let the monster through

Wherever she sends me
Wherever the plane
Perfect black dress
Perfect grave 
What can I say 
What can I do
I did it to myself
I did it all confused 

Jesus online 
Wires around the world
Feel invincible 
Computer car and girl
To be perfect just like you

Whenever she comes with me
Whenever we break 
Dress up my apathy
Pretend we're great

Jesus online
Arms around the world 
Feel invincible

The Chemicals Between Us

I want you to remember
A love so full it could send us all ways
I want you to surrender 
All my feelings rose today
And I want you to remain
The power of children can amaze
I'll try not to complain
I know that's a pisser baby

The chemicals between us 
The walls that lie between us
Lying in this bed 
The chemicals displaced 
There is no lonlier place 
Than lying in this bed 

I want you to remember
Everything you said
Every driven word 
Like a hammer hell to my head

The chemicals between us 

There is no lonlier state
Then lying in this bed

We're of the hollow men
We are the naked ones 
We never meant you harm 
Never meant you wrong
I'd like to thank 
All of my lovers lovers lovers 

The chemicals between us
The army of achievers
Lying in this bed
There is no lonlier face 
Than lying in this bed



English Fire

World news, world news
Well you said let's be free
Well you said I'll be me 
Death row hearts are hard to mend 
Why shoot myself for your sins 
All my love, all my love
All my love, all my love 

Well you said retribute 
Well you said substitute 
Burn myself on your bed 
Your crown of thorns my crown of lead
I'll wake up before I drown 
I'll wake up before I drown 
All my love, all my love (let's me free) 
All my love, all my love (let's me free)
All my love, all my love
All my love, all my love 

We'll hang ourselves by the English fire 
We'll hang ourselves

All my love, all my love 
All my love, all my love (let's me free) 
All my love, all my love (let's me free)
All my love, all my love 
I'll wake up before I drown 
All my love (let's me free) 
All my love 
All my love (let's me free)



Spacetravel

They're polishing the government 
Resembles a last waltz
We are the playthings 
We are the form 
Soon it may come 
Since we can rise
Too long since I've seen you 
We move like satellites 

My future lies 
In space travel 
She's coming over me

They're burning the tenements
Topless progressive thinking 
Political holes 
Got six but pray for seven

My future lies
In space travel 
She's coming over me
I employ spies
To stroll the gravel 
They never want to leave 
My future lies
My future lies 

Scared of the government 
I'm scared of the government 

Myfuture lies
In space travel 
There's someone after me 
I employ spies
In silver tassels
They never seem that pleased 
My future lies
My future lies (space)



40 Miles From The Sun

There is nowhere left to hide
There is nothing to be done
No people to be saved 
No pets we've never names 

40 miles from the sun 

As darkness craves the mind 
We come undone without our pride
No time on the earth to come
All the pleasures just begun 

40 miles from the sun

In our coats beneath the layers
Wash my skin of all the hate 
We should sleep late
Everything just kind of grates

40 miles from the sun

I need to lose to make it right
I'll confront the stars tonight
I will babble I will bite 
You will never know how much you shine

40 miles from the sun



Prizefighter

These are the days 
When I fear for my life 
Think that's strange 
Well that's the waste of you 

Sun up time now for you to run
I will always know you - you're a special one
Now I'm up on this climb, up on this climb 
I won't fade away

The best if yet to come 
Sad you're not around 
The best is yet to come
Better get your feet on the ground 

Prisoner or passenger 
A free man on scavenger 
I'm a prizefighter
I'm a prizefighter

Who will be there 
Cover when you fall
We're all chasing something 
How come you never call

I thought you were all beautiful
It doesn't make sense, sense, sense 
I'm a prizefighter
I'm a prizefighter
I'm a prizefighter



The Disease Of The Dancing Cats

Infested and polluted
80 tons of mercury dumped in the bay
It's bleeding there's no proof 
That's no way to treat a good friend
Your whiskey talks louder 
Than most things I've read you said 
In situ. in place now 
Site back unwind and relax 

Big cheese is all greed
It's all relative what you need 
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday here's your nerve gas

All the fishermen and their families
All sickly crumbling cerebellum 
It's all over for urang-a-tang
Looks like they're back on the street again

Mistrusted, disruptive
Rape land and kill good habit
World weary, world broken
Well spent and money money money money 
Injected, transmitted
80 tons of mercury dumped in the bay
It's breathing - it's put the dog in the basket 

All sickly growing sentimental

Invaded, downgraded 
Your bile lands right on my head
Uncalled for, unwanted 
My sinking zero tolerance 

It's all over for the urang-a-tang 

Looks like they're back on the street again



Altered States

Living in a cage washing in a bird bath
Sinking in a fish bowl on a broken farm
I try to never lie I really do
I wonder if my friends will get me through 
Conscious of the way as best we can
17 ways to kill a man 
States we've been through

Killing nostalgia for future swims 
Trash all your bridges
Kill the rock all roll thing 

I want to move on with no complains
Building our walls with yesterday
Might as well shine before you slide
Might as well you live before you die 
States we've been through 

A whole lot of emptiness

Living in a state of constant chasing 
A river of flux for our tasting
I try to never lie I really do
I wonder if my friends will get me through 
It always seems to rain when you leave
I try to stem the flow as we bleed 

States we've been through



Dead Meat

Your dead meat from former days
I am your crisis 
Blue asbestos in your veins
I'm your broken fingers 
I've killed you twice I will again 
Revenge is eager 
See first you'll crash then you'll burn 

Dorothy died for your pleasure
It's hard to get along in this car crash weather 
Your dead meat 
Your dead meat 
Your dead meat 

Your dead meat formaldehyde didn't phase me 
I soon returned to track you down for your confession
I'll be your poison and your pain
I'll be your struggle to be sane
Exploited lament and the places you never went

Dorothy died for your pleasure
It's hard to get along in this car crash weather

I'm doing you in tomorrow 
That's why I'm dressed in all this sorrow
I'm doing you in tomorrow
I'll burn before I mellow 

Dorothy died for your pleasure 
It's hard to get along
It's hard to get along



Letting The Cables Sleep

You in the dark 
You in the pain
You on the run 
Living a hell 
Living your ghost 
Living your end
Never seem to get in the place that I belong 
Don't wanna lose the time
Lose the time to come 

Whatever you say it's alright
Whatever you do it's all good
Whatever you say it's alright
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it 
If heaven is on the way

You in the sea 
On a decline
Breaking the waves 
Watching the lights go down
Letting the cables sleep

Silence is not the way 
We need to talk about it 
If heaven is on the way 
We'll wrap the world around it
If heaven is on the way 

I'm a stranger in this town 
I'm a stranger in this town



Mindchanger

Help me sometimes, I need that much 
Don't you think it's strange 
How we can turn to dust 

Think it's strange, like really strained 
We'll never run when we've got all these broken bones 

It's so hard to let you go
But I will make you change your mind

Think of me sometimes, I'd never tell
Do you recognize me, think that you know me well 
I think you're changing, configurating
Destroyed the lines 
That fed the goods to your heart 

It's so hard to let you go
Run with the hunted (as you come) 
Run with the hunters (I was one)
But I will make you change your mind
