Look Down

from Night School by Tom Florida and Diogenes

lyrics

Up above, the lovely lights, the scattered patterns, faces we all recognize,
Up above is lovely but it’s just a vacuum that would gladly suck you up.
Now I cast down my own eyes; why so downcast, you ask, why so preoccupied?
‘Cause they pierce and penetrate the crust. It gives the neck a rest.
Dig a ditch, pick my place, can’t afford to send my ashes into space.
Look down
Look down
Look down
No vertigo on the groundfloor.

These are the benefits I’ve seen: won’t step in anything unclean
And any pretension is obscene!
Build a box, fix my face, can’t afford to send my ashes into space.
Look down
Look down
Look down
Look down!

Up above, the shining screen, she sparkles down on you, you’re sharing in the dream,
Now I design my own machines; this hollow spectacle holds no sway over me,
Look down, look.

Look into your love’s true eyes, look past the lust and see deceit, defeat, and lies in heat,
Look!
Look away, numb one, look down, and now you know that you are finally aroused!
Look down
Look down
Look down
Look down
Look down!
Be ready for the burrowing bastards,
Forever Yours,
-The MegaCorps
