lyrics

the red river of human waste ebbs beside me
funny seeing it travel, of all places, on the city street
slightly below the sidewalk that now appears to be sinking
my feet... still dry... not for long

the consistently-deafening crescendo of continuous conflict
has shattered the flesh and bone inside my skull
gave up my hearing aid a long time ago
nothing worth listening to anyway

the citizens have all retreated to their rusty cages
conversation is dead
all that remains is the never-ending hypocrisy
spewed forth in the form of flagrant lies
the federally-installed televisions dance and scream
hypnotically, in endless folly
"the city that never sleeps"
still true... only now, for different reasons

my feet... still dry... not for long
time to seek higher concrete

peddlers, whores, drug dealers, bums, businessmen, addicts
are all dealt the same hand in an impossible street game
equality rules when there's nothing everywhere
my feet... wet

too late and too lazy to go home, wherever that is
here i stand... drowning
a self-appointed critic of the establishment
never mind the slow death, give me sniper fire any day

waiting... not for long

endless hypocrisy
hypnotically drowning
establishment
lies

"the city that never sleeps"

about

rekall Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

as a rare-earth magnet to sheet metal, i am attracted to electronic music; it must bleep, syncopate + otherwise disrupt everyday life.

nearly two decades into this millennium + yet we are still burdened by centuries-old problems for which simple technological solutions exist. we need this music to remind us of what is possible.

what would kraftwerk / autechre / orbital / plastikman do?
