"I'm gazing at faces
Staring blankly at me
I suppose it's just a sign of the times
They tell me tomorrow will never arrive
But I've seen it end a million times

I lost my direction while dodging the flak
Oh give me a hint or something
Now they can erase us
At the flick of a switch
How long will they wait
No!
There must be something wrong boys

Obnoxious actions
Obnoxious results
Teachers who refuse to be taught
Distorted pictures
And dizzy, dizzy people
Rush by me at the speed of thought

Sitting at tables
And throwing the scraps
For Christ's' sake leave them something
Now they can erase us
At the flick of a switch
Will they hesitate
No!
There must be something wrong boys
They're dragging me down

Eden
There's no Eden, anyway.

They're dragging me down
You either swim or you drown..."

-The Chameleons, "Up the Down Escalator"

I'm just got around to ripping The Chameleons to my i-Pod, and I had almost forgotten how good they are. Apparently many of their lyrics are based on LSD/shroom trips, and the lead singer, Mark Burgess, has a penchant for occasionally making up the lyrics on the spot during live shows and in the studio. They never fail to give me those "music chills." I'm enjoying wave after wave of them right now. *shiver*

...the Claritin is also making me feel a little goofy
