I want you to twinge.
I want you to shake.
I want you to spin
in your grave
as fast as you can.
Please believe,
please believe:
I want you secure,
I don't want you safe.

So get off your ***,
I want you alert.
I'll feed you some meaning
if you're willing to work.
Don't put up a fuss,
put up a fight.
They'll have to take me out
feet first
if they plan to take me
tonight.
Spark up your eyes.
Blow out the lights.

Count yourself in.
Count it all down.
Drop all the dice.
Just walk away.
Find a new path,
run to it's end.
Do it so the story feels better to say.
Then flag down a star,
ask if I'm wrong, ask if I'm wrong.
It'll give you no answer, the same as this song


So get off your ***,
I want you alert.
I'll feed you some meaning
if you're willing to work.
Don't put up a fuss,
put up a fight.
They'll have to take me out
feet first
if they plan to take me
tonight.
Spark up your eyes.
Blow out the lights.
A song I wrote years ago. The rhymes aren't great, but it's fun to sing.
