lyrics

(aka Elongated Lever Orientation)

the mellotron measures the melodies of major surgeries & sheep
it pushed the sonic outro into a mondo distortion beat
left behind only the sound of soma in the walls
tainted and stained like a dimensionless bathroom stall

in the 11th dimension the ELO was fixed upon a mixalydian big muff.
probing with its octaver, the ELO searched for code.
having reached the coda, it started again,
having started again, its efforts were cinderful
(the feeling of passing cinders over an overpass)
we pass under a moonbow. strange – always gone.

we keep searching from dimension to dimension
for that ultimate invention
THE MELODRAMATIC MELLOTRON!

i was in my quarters flanging
(removing lint from flannel)
when I heard the news of the tacet – yet explicit – silverfuck
sure enough, two space dolphins half-stepping on a ghost bend
until one pulled off
The show was cut short by a red cape
‘low rumbling sounds have been reported.’
…THE MELLOTRON!

a cloak of ritardando fell over this fair crew
this was it. the big cheese. the big italian cheese.
no time for legato - we made a glissando towards the mellotron

we keep searching from dimension to dimension
for that ultimate invention
THE MELODRAMATIC MELLOTRON!

the air filled with microtones, and death permenated
all up in our knickers
and the last song we heard was the trill of the swallowing frog

say goodbye to coconino
