I've got pocketfuls of crumpled receipts, just about enough to
Start a fire. i'll watch the past just burn away. put the mic
Stand through the amplifier. put the bass down, bass down, one
Time, snap the neck now. drum set, smash it. kick the kick drum,
One time, kicked in, smashed up, break it, break up.

See the flames begin to crawl, upward. taste the anguish as they
Fall, unheard. hear the record start to skip, unsung. feel the
Weight that sunk the ship, so young.

I've got notebooks full of misshapen words, i'll never speak
Them anymore. ten years from now, you won't know my name. throw
The microphone down on the floor. put the guitar, guitar, one
Time, through the speaker, splintered, broken. throw the horns
Down, one time, horns down, smash them, break them, break up.

The crowds recoil, demand our survival, fists in the air, mouths
Caked with saliva. but you are the one, the spark that was
Spawned, who picks up the pieces, and passes it on.
