Masterfade

Well you sure didn't look like you were having any fun with that heavy-metal gaze

They'll have to measure in tons and when you look up at the sky all you see are zeros

All you see are zeros and ones

You took my hand and lead me down to watch a kewpie doll parade

We let the kittens lick our hair and drank our chalky lemonade

It's not that i just didn't care i must admit i was afraid

And i'm awfully glad my finger's resting gently on the masterfade, the masterfade

I coulda played along the masterfade

I coulda played mah jongg but it just takes too long

And i just can't remember which way the east wind blows does it matter?

If we're all matter what's it matter does it matter if we're all matter when we're done?

When the sky is full of zeros and ones i saw you standing all alone in the electrostatic rain

I thought at last i'd found a situation you can't explain with gps you know it's all just a matter of degrees

Your happiness won't find you underneath that canopy of trees

If the green grass is 6 the soybeans are 7 the junebugs are 8 the weeds and thistles are 11

And if the 1s just hold thier place the 0s a smiley face when they come floating down from the heavens

You took my hand and lead me down to watch a papillon parade

We let the kittens lick our hair and drank our chalky lemonade

You squeezed my hand and told me softly that i shouldn't be afraid

'cause all the while your finger's resting gently on the masterfade, the masterfade

I coulda played along the masterfade

I coulda played mah jongg but it just takes too long

And who the hell can remember which way the east wind blows when your lying on the ground staring up at an inverted compass

I mean christ who knows?
