Did you just what? Is what you yes? Did you whatever, whatever you I guess?
The stalking horse was hides the guy and which the pony is a phony was a lie
You say, stuff is way. Way to go. Go away. Who had you was? I yes you would
It was catastro-, catastro-feeling good
As it the drag that has you are is in the bag that you drag behind your car

Dan and Lisa, hi
We kind of know you guys
But you still might wonder why we're here
You see we're certified appointed fans
Of this thing called marriage, and
We've got a short list of the facts
You'll need
Don't say it's okay then go to sleep mad
Don't act like the other doesn't know how to drive
Patience is a virtue best shared with a spouse
And remember love's a verb
And love can be eternity
Dan, when you're surrounded by nothing
In a pitch meeting
Think of your love for Lisa on this day
And Lisa, when you're surrounded by Dan*
Trapped on a cellphone
Think of your love for Dan on this day
So, Dan and Lisa, bye
We hardly know you guys
But we're excited for you still, it's true
Though there's more we could report
Our time on earth is short
So let's keep it to the facts and review
Don't say it's okay then go to sleep mad
Don't act like the other doesn't know how to drive
Patience is a virtue best shared with a spouse
And remember love's a verb
And love can be eternity, Dan and Lisa

Numquam domum relinquo
Est nimium periculi
Quod foras homines sunt
Eos videre possum
Et miror si me videant
Et miror se mirentur
Si eos videre possim
Et mirantur si mirar
Si me videre possint
Nemo me visitat
Non est tutus hic
Quod in domo mea
Est ego
Sciunt me intra hunc esse
Et cogitant
Cogitata de me
Et sciunt
Me agnoscere
Hanc rem esse et scio
Eos cognoscere
Hanc esse quoque rem
Et sciunt
Me agnoscere
Hanc esse quoque rem

I never leave home
It's too dangerous
Because outside, there are people
I can see them
And I wonder if they see me
And I wonder if they wonder if I can see them
And they wonder if I wonder if they can see me
Nobody visits me
It isn't safe here
Because in my house there is me
They know I'm in here
And they're thinking thoughts about me
And they know that I'm aware
That this is the case
And I know that they're aware
That this is also the case
And they know that I'm aware
That this is also the case
That this is also the case
And they know that I'm aware
That this is also the case
That this is also the case
That this is also the case
everything’s wrecked, everything is wrecked
smashed up, destroyed, smashed up and destroyed
I broke my rule, I broke my own rule
now there’s no rules, no rules, there’s no rules anymore
this is as bad, as bad as it gets
I lost the high ground, lost the high ground
I broke my rule, I broke my own rule
I’ve got no one, no one else, no one else to blame
what happens when—happens when the—when the freedom—freedom you want—you want to have—to have comes at—comes at a cost—a cost you can’t—you can’t afford to pay
all is lost, all is lost, all is lost
not a shred of, not a shred of hope
I broke my rule, I broke my own rule
now I’m condemned to hell, now I’m condemned to hell
climb to the top of the statue of freedom from gravity
and you’re at liberty to
jump from the top of the absence of responsibility
and float into the emptiness
no leg on which to, on which to stand
abandoned by every, every friend
I broke my rule, I broke my own rule
I’ve got no one, no one else, no one else to blame
I’ll lay me down—down in the dark—the dark and sad—sad empty room—room at the end—the end of the—hallway the hall—way at the end—way at the end of time
everything’s wrecked, everything is wrecked
smashed up, destroyed, smashed up and destroyed
I broke my rule, I broke my own rule
now there’s no rules, no rules, there’s no rules anymore
now there’s no rules, no rules, there’s no rules anymore
now there’s no rules, no rules, there’s no, now there’s
no rules, no rules, there’s no rules anymore

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of Flood's release (1/15/90), Idlewild Recordings is proud to present a special edition picture disk re-issue. The A-side is the original Flood album cover while the B-side is a brand new animated psychedelic zoetrope of Flood era ephemera created by Paul Sahre. You will need a phone and a glass hookah to experience it in its full psychedelic glory! (easy viewing instructions are included on the LP jacket) but if you want them here....
iPhone users: shine a bright lamp on the turntable about 18 inches above the record. Hold your phone about a foot above the record. Tap the “4K 60” text in the upper right until the 60 changes to 24. With the table not spinning, tap somewhere in the frame to focus, and pull the exposure down to about 1/4 (its the slider next to the little yellow sun).

Make a hole with a gun perpendicular
To the name of this town in a desk-top globe
Exit wound in a foreign nation
Showing the home of the one this was written for
My apartment looks upside down from there
Water spirals the wrong way out the sink
And her voice is a backwards record
It's like a whirlpool and it never ends
Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you
All alone at the sixty-four World's Fair
Eighty dolls singing small girl after all
Who was at the Dupont Pavilion?
Why was the bench still warm? Who had been there?
Or the time when the storm tangled up the wire
To the horn on the pole at the bus depot
And in the back of the edge of hearing
These are the words the voice was repeating
Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you
When I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge,
I don't want the world, I just want your half
They don't need me here, and I know you're there (don't need me)
Where the world goes by like the humid air (world goes by)
And it sticks like a broken record
Everything sticks like a broken record
Everything sticks until it goes away (it goes home)
And the truth is, we don't know anything (don't know)
Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you
Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you
Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Oh Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night
Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way
So, Take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Oh Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks

I want to say I learned something valuable today
alas my murdered remains are incapable of learning anything
trusted you—I should have never trusted you
in fact I never did
what’s the use, I’m not complaining
I’m not anything
is this what’s supposed to happen when you’re only trying to do right in this wicked world?
probably I should already know this
probably I should graciously accept what I get
most people wouldn’t hang the corpses up for review
dearest, I can only hope most people are nothing like you
nervous tics that I pretended not to see
that’s how I was brought up
warning signs: death metal albums
hang in there baby poster
is this how you thank somebody for their selfless loyalty
is this what you do?
pardon me for failing to grasp how this works
excuse my breathtaking ignorance
is this what’s supposed to happen when you’re only trying to do right in this wicked world?
probably I should already know this
probably I should graciously accept what I get
