Ariel Pink - Trepanated Earth Lyrics

The sun rises and falls and on goes the day
In every direction of the compass
We ride a tropical desert region
Traveling to a distant idea of time
And there is music...

"The human race is a pile of dog shit!"
In my world, I hold the key of wisdom in my hand
And lead all the children of the earth to a door
They previously believed locked
Only to find it open, inviting them to see

[Modest Mussorgsky's "Pictures At An Exhibition" (piano)]

"You can all kiss my ass!"
And there is light
In my world, I make medicine out of air
"Mankind is a Nazi!"
And breathe fire from the lakes of harmony
"Humanity is the devil!"
My ashes smoke the melodies of your love
And God is a good friend of mine, in my world
"You really think I give a f*ck about the world?!"

Been accused of being confused and I never denied it
It's the right or more wrong
In the world I'm a fallen angel
Within mine, I'm in hell
I pay my rent to the devil for the dark space to dwell
'Cause it's too bright, too hot in the sky for me
Hell's a hell of a lot cooler than

Heaven, heaven, heaven
Hell, hell, hell
Heaven, heaven, heaven

Ooh, ah, ah
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah, ah
You never see me anymore and that's all right
But you keep on saying you want more, oh what more?
When you showed me the door
And it's your pride, you don't have to swallow
Now, all I want is time to recover
And I'm boiling over, gotta let off some steam
'Cause yeah that's hotter than my hell could ever be

Ooh, ah, ah,
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah, ah
You say you love me but you don't and that's alright
Don't wanna make it like before, oh what for?
You wouldn't mind anymore
And that's all you pretending to ask me 'bout it
It's all true, but your words are just nullified
Get out of the way while I jump in the sea
'Cause yeah it's hotter than my hell could ever be

Ooh, ah, ah,
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah, ah
So through with lying anymore, you're not whole
Stop crying, I'm not buying more, what a chore
I won't cry anymore
And it's all true, you do like the others
Step out of the way, I'm under the covers
With someone true, someone cooler than me
'Cause you'll get hotter than my hell
'Cause you're hotter than my hell
Could ever be

The sun rises and falls and on goes the day
In every direction of the compass
We ride a tropical desert region...
And there is music
