lyrics
Bender:
I'm up here playin with alchemy turnin water to gold
While I'm pissin offa the balcony on passerbys down below
Still on shoreleave spillin' 40s of swill my rites of passage
Feeling lost as the minotaur outside the labyrinth
Lost our child like innocence the ultraviolence festering...
Walked for miles in regiments of Monster Island denizens to
Cross the alps with elephants and crocodiles and pelicans
So pray and kiss your babies if that's your domicile we're steppin in
Clutch the sig by its muzzle
Flush the pig from the jungle
Now something bigger is coming it just got triggered to hunt you
Seen a ghost dropped a microdot up on the eastern slope
Askin whats a king to a god? What's a lumberjack to a tree of smoke?
Lightly put my livelihood is firewood for the higher good
So I write the book you'll never read
Guess there's no reason why you would
But one day they're gonna dig us up to find out what made us tick
So I'll spill my guts like I give a fuck and hope that it makes them sick
It goes: bones for the vultures, Salem witches for the pious
Souls for brimstone and sulphur, captive Christians for the lions
It goes: bones for the vultures, Salem witches for the pious
Souls for brimstone and sulphur, captive Christians for the lions
It goes: bones for the vultures, Salem witches for the pious
souls for brimstone and sulphur, captive Christians for the lions
One day they're gonna dig us up to find out what made us tick
Made us tick, made us tick, made us, what made us...

I have been listening to variations of this album a long time. I remember I was living in a cardboard dumpster when some young guy was like yo dude it's gonna rain come crash on my couch. He played The Many Faces of Oliver Hart for me. I fell in love, I set my favorite track as Rain because we looped it when the rain came. That was one of the early acts of kindness I received in the nearly 20 years I've been homeless. @NomadRoamsFree
