It’s Always Something
(words & music: M.Filipek copyright 2001)
Messengered me yesterday
Some vacuum tubing for my brain
The paper stores conformity
The hair tip from a magazine
I’m left and right and up and down again
Jessie says to marry her
While Sally guides him away from her
Retro Flash, who do you date ?
You’re dressing in your mothers state
The treadmills forward, and we’re all moving back
I guess it’s always something
Well, It Could be anything
Cause Nothings happening
I guess it’s always something
Fortunes made from paper dolls
While cardboard heroes paint this town
The bareness of a beauty queen
The airwaves bore a talk show king
As Demon Donny dials in again
(Chorus)
Magical the Medium
A host to screens and mirrors
One low price for all your dreams
Fifteen minutes is all you need
Brad tells sad tales of the day
To millions through his whitened teeth
And Aimee reads to parish folk
Then steals from her grocery store
Counterfeiting Personalities
(Chorus twice - then end)
