lyrics

CORPORATE STAR

Talk now – I’m calling while in motion
And I’m flying out
Or shifting gears

There’s no way you can turn me down
Hear my sordid fears

This sound is like the lava pilgrims were seeking
Peering at parking lots
I found dried bodies
At least there were some bodies
Maybe they’re worth the taste

Another ripple on Planet Ghost
Sporting patches of fear
Once I was a baby with tears rolling on
And now I’m with my kingdom peers

Once I even collaborated to be
An asshole on the gallows and then
(Brink time)
I played the villain in the feature films
That were scrolling in your mind

With our mind weapons we’re tougher
Surrender now you know we’re tougher
You’re in a coma and we’re tougher we’re tougher
We’re banging your head against the tricky signs

You’re a burnout and I need you to believe firmly
This handshake’s courageous
Press your knuckles on the consuming convict for days
And lick them, come along

Heard of my Christian slough enough
For all the babies we’re tough enough
Come on sister be a tease
Come on and don’t tease papa for nothing

In your ears for hours
In your brain, humming: “it’s all right”
Shall I keep beating?
Though not literally speaking,
Am I not such a corporate star?
Yeah
A star yeah

So I wake in the night
There’s something that can never grow

I toss in the night
A door – I have been seeking doors

So roll up for mayhem
Roll up for mayhem
Go

It’s not what you’re trying to be
It’s what you live

It’s not what you’re trying to be
It’s what you live
