Produced/mixed/engineered by Richard Greene at Vocoloco Studios, Kensington, CA and Duncan Street Studios, San Francisco, CA

lyrics

Cords and wires is all I am
Nails and tires and a bucket full of sand
Lay it on me – right on my back – I’m a zombie.
Go ahead, I’m ALREADY DEAD

Melted metal – I was a cage
Rust and pebbles and a pile of empty rage
Bricks and mortar still on my back – place your order
Go ahead, I’m ALREADY DEAD

Twigs and splinters, a heap of dirt
Slush grey winters – if you ask me, I’m not hurt
Trash-fed sparrows without a nest – aim your arrows
Go ahead, I’m ALREADY DEAD

I wobble the knob, then I’m kickin down doors
And I don’t know what you bother locking this for
‘Cause there’s nothing in here, there’s nothing inside
There’s nothing left here – but I really tried

And the summer seeps in and I’ll itch and scratch
Until the ship caves in
I can’t do it all, I can’t make it work
MTV, analog rings
Isn’t anybody driving this thing?

And I’m not so sorry but I’m working at sane
Bridge and tunnel. Bridge and tunnel.
Small dark rooms, the whistle of a train
Thanks for the albatross – and the name
