ICE, DEATH, PLANETS, LUNGS, MUSHROOMS AND LAVA

MYCELIUM

Mycelium

I ain't a bald primate

That tongue does not relate

Man is done, the ape is dead

Lungs of the planet on a golden thread

I ain't debating

I'm a mushroom, okay

I spread like lava, rise like bread

Currency of decay

Amongst my kin, I extend acidic salutations

Exhale the dust of seasons, inhale the breath of civilizations

I grip with devil's fingers and stroke the green curtain

Wе, the thoughtful elemеnt; dumb rock, unthinking ocean

Network of the wood

Tannin of the evening

Synapse of the bush

I disappear amongst my kin

Mycelium

I ain't a bald primate

That tongue does not relate in any way

Man is done, the ape is dead

Lungs of the planet on a golden thread

I ain't debating now

I'm a mushroom, okay

I spread like lava, rise like bread

Paralysed agaric fungus

Fed back into the, the bourgeoisie

What the hell is happening to me?

Fed back into the, the bourgeoisie

What the hell is happening to me?

Mycelium

Paralysed agaric fungus

Toadstool dome grown humongous

Stomach knots and purple skin

Mirrored faces doubling

Bursting beams of hopping rabbits

Organs bleed with sucking maggots

Metallic teeth, ancient goblet

Increase the dosage with a droplet

Blackened gold beneath the surface

Dark horse undermining and amorphous

Fed back into the bourgeoisie

What the hell is happening to me?

Spore filled breath, I'll spread myself

Over the forest floor and infest the elk

Feasting on decay and sprouting anew

I'll make my biome part of mycelium

Mycelium

ICE V

Ice V, ice V

Ganymede princess

With the tongue of death

She smells what the wind says

With the lava forked pincers

Ganymede princess

With a lungless chest

With her tongues forked pincers

She smells what the people says

Ice V, ice V (Woo!)

Ice V, ice V

Monoclinic, crystallinе

Spears of death shoot down the linе

Autocratic and quantized

Land mine meteorite

Lost in transit, obliteration

Disconnected correlations

Lucky 7, ace of spades

Double down, checkmate (Woo!)

Ain't getting out of here alive (Ice V)

Ice V has arrived (Ice V)

Ain’t getting out of here alive (Ice V)

Ice V has arrived (Ice V)

Ain't getting out of here alive (Ice V)

Ice V has arrived (Ice V)

Ain't getting out of here alive (Ice V)

Ice V has arrived (Ice V)

Pimple puss, crop circle pit

Oozing out of crevices

Sentient toadstool throne

Crooked sceptre, alien bone

Frosted pistol, loaded spite

Shooting rays of frozen light

Feel the doom of flashing flood

Crimson clouds are raining blood

Will we survive ice V?

Will we survive ice V? (Will we survive ice V?)

Will we survive ice V? (Will we survi-i-ive ice V?)

Will we survive ice V? (Will we survive ice V?)

Will we survive ice V? (Will we survi-i-ive ice V?)

Will we survive ice V? (Ice V, ice V, ice V, ice V)

Will we survive ice V?

Will we survive ice V? (Will we survive ice V?)

Will we survive ice V? (Will we survi-i-ive ice V?)

Will we survive ice V? (Will we survive ice V?)

Will we survive ice V? (Will we survi-i-ive ice V?)

Will we survive ice V? (Will we survive ice V?)

Will we survive ice V? (Will we survi-i-ive ice V?)

Ice V, ice V

Queen of ice, suffice to say

Engulfing all in crystal dismay

Freezing whims as the sun dims

The pressure tearing limb from limb

Earth born cities stripped away

As the ice queen hypnotically sways

Queen of ice, suffice to say

Engulfing all in crystal dismay

Ain’t getting out of here alive (Ice V)

Ice V has arrived (Ice V)

Ain't getting out of here alive (Ice V)

Ice V has arrived (Ice V)

Ain't getting out of here alive (Ice V)

Ice V has arrived (Ice V)

Ain't getting out of here alive (Ice V)

Ice V has arrived (Ice V)

MAGMA

Magma, fire bagwan

The all, the one and the none

Lifts rock, makes stuff

The sleeping hawk, the ticking clock

Hair of child, skin of bone

Gift of flesh exchanged for a burn

I'm a drill, I drown the earth

Tectonic romance, infinite rebirth

Magma, essence oozing

Molten rock, moving fluorescence

Melting all within its presence

Forever creeping luminescence

Destroying to invent

Magma god ever present

I live in dеbt, I bathe in glow

Subterranean wеb infest my soul

Flying arcs come bearing gifts

Praise the return of GI Joe

Brewing beneath the magma shifts

Heavenly bird, luscious cargo

Digging deep, burying gifts

For the molten god that sits

Beneath our feet, great abyss

Offerings burn in the pit

We console reminisce

For the molten god that sits

He'll accept those that commit

If we dance in the shit

Magma, subterranean tsar

The scimitar and the neutron star

Makes from ether basalt weaver

Obsidian cleaver, make believer

Woo!

A rumble

A smile

A red tongue

Oesophagus

A greeting

A portal

Auto-cremate

Immortal

Woo!

Magma, fire bagwan

The all, the one and the none

Lifts rock, makes stuff

The sleeping hawk, the ticking clock

Hair of child, skin of bone

Gift of flesh exchanged for a burn

I'm a drill, I drown the earth

Tectonic romance, infinite rebirth

Magma, essence oozing

Molten rock, moving fluorescence

Melting all within its presence

Forever creeping luminescence

Destroying to invent

Magma god ever present

I live in debt, I bathe in glow

Subterranean web infest my soul

Flying arcs come bearing gifts

Praise the return of GI Joe

Brewing beneath the magma shifts

Heavenly bird, luscious cargo

Digging deep, burying gifts

For the molten god that sits

Beneath our feet, great abyss

Offerings burn in the pit

We console reminisce

For the molten god that sits

He'll accept those that commit

If we dance in the

Magma, subterranean tsar

The scimitar and the neutron star

Makes from ether basalt weaver

Obsidian cleaver, make believer

LAVA

Death smells like boiled eggs

Death, a hot stove glowing red

Lava, sticky like peanut butter

Lava, the ultimate stonecutter

Anointed in the bubbling lake

Charring lungs asphyxiate

Unlike quicksand, it's instant

Devours whole

No longer existent

Pumice rain engulfs

A mushroom cloud brings tumult

Remains are shells

Rain won't quell

Earth is hell

Burning flesh and melting skin

I submit to the molten king

The messiah deep below

Give my essence to the afterglow

There I'll speak to the magma lord

And bathe in the warmth of the red fjord

Past this life of green meadows

Lava afterlife in charred plateaus

The volcano is death, the lava is death

Death is life, the lava is life

The volcano is death, the lava is death

Death is life, the lava is life

The volcano is death, the lava is death

Death is life, the lava is life

The volcano is death, the lava is death

Death is life, the lava is life

The serpent is death, the serpent is death

The serpent is life, the serpent is life

The serpent is death, the serpent is death

The serpent is life, the serpent is life

The serpent is death, the serpent is death

The serpent is life, the serpent is life

The serpent is death, the serpent is death

The serpent is life, the serpent is life

The head is death, the tail is death

The head is life, the tail is life

The head is death, the tail is death

The head is life, the tail is life

The head is death, the tail is death

The head is life, the tail is life

The head is death, the tail is death

The head is life, the tail is life

The volcano is death, the lava is death

Death is life, the lava is life

The volcano is death, the lava is death

Death is life, the lava is life

The volcano is death, the lava is death

Death is life, the lava is life

The volcano is death, the lava is death

Death is life, the lava is life

The volcano is death

Death

HELL'S ITCH

Flick the switch

Hell's itch

Derma-glitch

Hell's itch

Bewitched

Hell's itch

Perpetual twitch

Hell's itch

Why, why, why, when my nail glides

Through my epidermis, does it feel so joyous?

The deeper the cut, the thicker the blood

Subcutaneous fat feels good like that

Dancing beneath my wafer-thin crust

Teasing me, taunting me, my unquenchable lust

If I only could locate this bug

Oozing under like a slug

I'd slice my skin to get within

Lacerate my own linchpin

Nominate my next of kin

Destroy myself with no chagrin

Find the source of this deep remorse

Buried deep inside me like a sunken horse

Rooted below in the innermost abyss is a

Fathomless unscratchable itch

[Verse 2: Stu Mackenzie]

Shed my skin if need be to suppress

The itch for it would fill me with glee

Whatever is this persistent yearn

To rip off my skin and stop the burn

Crawling tender temptations

Catacombs beneath layers of hatching eggs

Thunder threads

Claws enthralled in pitted keratosis

Lacerations peeling paper thin

Barbecue skin, deeper burying

Woo!

Flick the switch

Hell's itch

Derma-glitch

Hell's itch

Bewitched

Hell's itch

Perpetual twitch

Hell's itch

Rising pitch

Hell's itch

Latent witch

Hell's itch

Grisly stitch

Hell's itch

The old adage: Pain is easier to endure than an itch

Shed my skin if it need be

To suppress the itch for it would fill me with glee

Whatever is this persistent yearning

To rip off my skin and stop the burning

Crawling tender temptations

Catacombs beneath layers of hatching eggs

Thunder threads, claws enthralled in pitted keratosis

Lacerations peeling paper thin

Barbecue skin, deeper burying

Flick the switch

Hell's itch

Derma-glitch

Hell's itch

Bewitched

Hell's itch

Perpetual twitch

Hell's itch

Woo!

Let the sun burn, oh, my cells gurn

When the skin drips I sing the hell's itch

Deep in the compost, believe that the worm

Can still see the light, oh, I sing the hell's itch

I sleep with the rat whose kiss has set me free

Oh, I sing, oh, I sing the hell's itch

Prick the ceramic, bodily condom

Be gone, oh, baby, please be gone

The breeze on my flesh feels so fuckin' good

Look at me now, oh, Helen

Yeah, I'm finally red, yeah, I'm finally red

Yeah, I'm finally red

Ooh, I'm finally red, ooh, I'm finally red

Ooh, I'm finally red

[Verse 1: Stu Mackenzie]

Why, why, why, when my nail glides

If I only could locate this bug

IRON LUNG

Wrapped in iron, deathless purgatory

Negative pressure, airless breath

Wrapped in iron, deathless purgatory

Positive pressure, airless death

It's a different kind of cuttlefish, swing and a miss

Dancing with my eyes and lips, can't move my hips

Keep my mind distracted from the swish-swish

Staying sane and positive, can't crumble like a biscuit

Iron lung

Space shuttle, snail shell

Merry-go-round, conveyor belt

The army tank ventilator

Mechanical bull respirator

Metallic cocoon boredom

Bionic boy, pump my organs

Centre gravity, planet me

Gimme the mushrooms, time to leave

Iron lung

Frog breath, steam tent

Neck paralysis

Frog breath, steam tent

Scared precarious

Frog breath, steam tent

Neck paralysis

Congestion in my chest

Pins and needles

Like a voodoo evil

Got my doctor baffled

Every breath is in uphill battle

Frog breath, steam tent

Neck paralysis

Congestion in my chest

Frog breath, steam tent

Neck paralysis

Frog breath, steam tent

Scared precarious

Frog breath, steam tent

Neck paralysis

Sedated me

Hey, oh

The ship sailed

Train derailed

Now it's me and my iron lung

Wrapped in iron, deathless purgatory

Negative pressure, airless breath

Wrapped in iron, deathless purgatory

Positive pressure, airless death

Woo!

It's a different kind of cuttlefish, swing and a miss

Dancing with my eyes and lips, can't move my hips

Gotta keep my mind distracted from the swish-swish

I'm staying sane and positive, can't crumble like a biscuit

Iron lung

Cylindrical prison, newly arisen

Chained to a giant paper weight, pain abates

Yet darkness permeates, wallows my toes, burdens my chest

My brain is pressed with an iron chest

Iron lung

GLIESE 710

Melt the ice, reheat the dead

Terraform the planet, compress the lungs

Eat the mushroom, cool the lava

Watch the new star dance upon the night sky

Fly my pretty silver lining

Wishful thinking, strike defiant

Send your prayers for Gliese 710

Locked and loaded, death descends

Alien figures stumble sickly

As their planet bakes

Constellations crumble quickly

On the horizon; cosmic waves

Shooting stars rain upon

A distant planet, hadron

Colliding, forked lightning

Melting the cake's icing

Fragmentation, new permutations

Needlepoint mutilations

Stick the fork in the powerpoint

To be perturbed by revelations

Freeze the water, kill the living

Bake the planet, suffocate the lungs

Grow the mushroom, feed the volcano

Watch the new star dance upon the night sky

Boil the water, bury the dead

Destroy the planet, collapse the lungs

Disintegrate the mushroom, join the volcano

Be a cloud of gas upon the night sky
