about

A man with a plan, but does it make any sense? How much in his crazy world really does?

lyrics

I've got a Nikon Camera embedded in my forehead
I take secret pictures of the scandals in the woodshed
I upload the raw files to a server in Bulgaria
Some Russian codes the pixels into music that I'm streamin' at 'cha

How can I be in love with your day?
When it all comes rainin' down on me
And the people who run your world
try and make me pay

So I hide out in the ether
Beamin' all forbidden knowledge
Straight into your right hemisphere

The kids hear the music and their brains decode the pictures
They get sudden urges to throw off the common strictures
They start new religions and invent complex philosophies
Of gender morphing mutants building post-human technologies

They're way beyond eros, they're way beyond reason
They're teasing out meaning from nebula and pathogens
The media loves 'em, the parents berate them
The government jails 'em it's just the way it's always been

So how can I be in love with your day?
When it all comes rainin' down on me
And the people who run my brain
try and make me stay

So I hide out in the ether
Beamin' all forbidden feeling
Straight into the wrong hemisphere
