Just Us - Jam Baxter

I saw a demon with disfigured tissue

And fanboyed him on some can I get a picture with you?

Spudded him up a thousand times

And thanked him for the hot bed of sin we’re slipping in to

We delinked at noon, I was dead at dawn

Left hand still readjust the crown you never worn

I can’t change your life in its present form

Rest assured we’ve been on your shoulder rocking devil horns

Born in a mirage.

Squawking at the stars

Ignoring your elucidated, porcelain visage

You really want me to explore your depths

In a pitch black wet suit snorkel and a mask?

Still the same hard liquor aficionado

I swanned in steaming, like a poor man’s Poirot

Assembling the lounge for the big reveal

The room ran thick with the shit that makes skin congeal

He lived his life as a listed seal

Jellied mass, rolled up and pickled for a villains meal

Yeah… this shit is real

Place your bets.

Spin the wheel

Still plagued by this face I can’t see

It prangs me out like a letter from HMRC

You saw your future like wait it can’t be… Like…

Shit… shit.

Wait it can’t be…

Yeah.

Entirely international

Slash immoral, slash irrational

Hop between cities like a string of failed marriages

I just shut my eyes and this whole town vanishes

Yeah guess it’s just us… What… That’s kind of fucked up

What?

I said it’s just us… What… Let’s get fucked up

In a rundown eatery, sculpted out of gunk

I treated every single one of your mothers to brunch

The all prevailing sentiment I gathered from their shrieking

Was they felt they spawned a generation stripped of any meaning

Too smerkled to offer a response

I retreated once more into the squalor of the swamps

What I gotta do to get the populace to konk?

So I can live the dream and swim in sauvignon blanc

I cannot deliver the incompetence you want

I cannot exhibit the stupidity you crave

I’ve never ever tasted any single earthly morsel

More exquisitely delicious then my brain, it’s insane

I escaped Armageddon through the back door

Stumbled down the fire escape and shuffled through the sand storm

Eyes all gritty, drill beneath the sand dunes

Left the land licking at his myriad of axe wounds

Cash rules everything around you

G’s never worry.

Late night dreams getting gully

I guess I gave you an itch you can’t scratch

And your flags got a hot date with my last match

Yeah… Surround yourself with the right people

Is that your lord and saviour or a blind beetle?

Yeah… I kill it dead and lie peaceful

Scribble crosses on the sum of your combined evil

Yeah.

Entirely international

Slash immoral, slash irrational

Hop between cities like a string of failed marriages

I just shut my eyes and this whole town vanishes

Yeah guess it’s just us… What… That’s kind of fucked up

What… I said it’s just us… What… Let’s get fucked up

The cat that was used for the experiment… Umm… err…

Had to be cut open and have a err… power pack placed inside its um… abdomen

Wires to its brain to determine when it was hungry or sexually aroused

And wires to override err… these urges

The cat was then put on a err… test

Sent across the street to err… eavesdrop on a conversation

Being monitored by a van loaded with equipment

And as this poor little monstrosity waddled across the street

A taxi cab came down and ran it over

So it was twenty five million dollars down the drain

Meow… Meow…
