I just wanted to know How it feels to feel nothing at all The city's full of circling crows Eye sockets with no macula I didn't want to stay I thought of running away Now I'm detaching my brain The tyre on the lake The towers melting away In chromatic haze We're reverting to clay Atomic football Feel it coming down Losing control Atomic football Bodies all around Bathe in the glow Atomic football Be my baby now Let's hit the road Atomic football Think I'm coming down

The Athlete 03:21
I leaned back in my chair To be honest I wasn't paying attention I was trying to maximise my airtime And I was getting better I rocked a few times And with one last great push I hit my ceiling I lay sprawled on the floor I don't know what I expected Gold medal, silver medal I don't know what I expected Bronze medal, wooden spoon I like your style but just a word of advice There's pre-established ways now to ruin your life Every teacher knows a kid who smashed their head on a radiator But what if a top scout from a top team had been? (Yeah what about it?) Says I have the best balance that they have ever seen (I kind of doubt it) Could you really ask me to give up on my Olympic dream? (It's not going to happen just cos you say so) And sponsorships and endorsements And celebrations and standing ovations And worldwide adulation and recognition and admiration (Forget it) What I was trying to say Before you fell again Into a fantasy 'For the last time, listen'

Now we’re in the earth’s twilight It’s not without its highlights I lost ten pounds on the big fight Torn from a clover, my luck is over Staying out of the spotlight A subterranean luddite On the factory floor Lack of refinement, it’s not a science Taking apart the machine From the outside it’s mighty clean I root around on the inside I’m free I’ve put it down to boredom And the rule of the warden Tired of working the lathe I think I’ve had it So I put a spanner into it And tore up the meeting minutes But on the way out I blew it Bungled the operation Taking apart the machine From the outside it’s mighty clean They root around on the inside of me Hooked up to a machine One hundred and twenty volts Time passing by so quickly The first cut hurt a little It’s like a new kind of love Without the inevitable pain that it implies through absence Come on and cure my scatterbrain I let go of something in that moment Felt like a ball and a chain Had loosened Different but the same I’m doing eighty words a minute My car knowledge is infinite When something’s broken I bin it I’m a disciple of the new bible Reorientation And spectral visitation They’re offering salvation I turned my head to listen Then I said to the spirit “I’ll be down in a minute” I turned on the television And scratched at the incision This professional conduct Is more than a dream It’s becoming a map for my nerves Now you see This world on loop feels pretty nice I’ve got every pleasure device To keep on picking me up Like cold cola and ice Hit the waves on pleasure beach I want to ride on that highway For days and days and days
