about

Unstuck in time, from hot to cold, nothing new, nothing old.

lyrics

Take convention, dash it upon the ground
Scratch your name on the wall with one of the shards
Temper yourself, the fury and the sound
Make a name for yourself, it isn't that hard

Guinea pigs make great pets or test subjects
If you're not into that whole emotional thing
Rattlesnakes make great pests but don't you fret
There's no use crying over a broken guitar string

Shoot a rocket up so high
Maybe you weren't playing nice
But still you put a new star in the sky
That ain't so bad

Paranoia makes you Duck And take Cover
From the simplest acts of lamb-soft affection
Don't hurry yourself to make ghosts of your lovers
And mountains out of so many gopher hills

Shoot an apple off my head
Maybe you didn't get what you'd expect
But still you lived up to what you said
That ain't so bad

That ain't so bad
