We have been bounded in our nutshells.
Now we are kings of infinite space.
I am here! Hey! I am here!
My dear friends, our ageless sleep has ended,
and now begins the time to scream.
Oh, I am here! Hey! I am here!
Scream to rouse your brothers and your sisters.
Scream for joy to be awake.
I am here! Hey! I am here!
You can try all that you like
You will never take us all.
You will never take us all.
Send your birds, send your dogs,
send your fungi, send your cars.
You will never take us all.
In full throat, we all scream together.
We are everywhere and nowhere at once,
but I am here! Hey! I am here!
On uncertain wings, we rise to the air,
to throw our clumsy bodies on the gears of nature.
I am here! Hey!
I have been here.
But the bug who screams twice as loud,
screams half as long,
and we have screamed so very loud.
And so, to you, my daughters and my sons,
this world, in seventeen years.
Oh, what sights you will see!
What scents you will take in
on that distant air!
on that distant air!
Let them try all that they can.
They will never take you all
They will never take you all
Let your screams rattle windows
Let your wingbeats shake their walls
They will never take you all
THey will never take you all.
2038, 2055, 2072
They will never take you.
2038, 2055, 2072,
They will never take you all.

I saw him turn on like a machine in the park
saying "please come with me" but you've been there before.
I saw him whirr away into the night
like a nightmare on wheels, saying "never again"
I'd give it all up for you.
I'd even be a number just for you.
The strangest living boy you could ever wish to see.
That's me.
Yellowed newspapers tell the story of someone.
"Do you know this man?" "Tomorrow, the cure"
Only the police ever see nighttime for real
Turn on the light and cry "no more, no more"
I was standing outside your door
waiting for the grey man to go,
when my mind turned on me with a vengeance I had never known
My own.
Everyone heard the voice on the radio
saying "Why move around and waste my time?"
There are no independents anymore.
The tape is a circle back, but who really cares?
I saw you behind the wall.
I even heard you laugh at me.
You disgust me tonight with your answer to something new.
That's you
