Shameful Ground

Words and music by Seth Warren


The Forever Syndrome

Hot time in the city tonight, I’ve got a brand-new migraine fetish
Hot child it’s such a pity tonight to walk around and be unnoticed
Give it time, step on the stage, you’re in, you’ve paid – how lovely
Now inside the music plays, you’re dancing crazed – how lovely

Deconstruct your favourite song
Every note in the right place
It goes down so easy you don’t notice the taste

Chorus:
And your eyes look down
As your hands reach down
And the poison seeps
In your shameful ground
And your eyes look down
As your hands reach down
And the poison seeps
In your shameful ground

Hot time in the city tonight, the girls alive in a vinyl casket
Beat, beat, play the chainsaw beat, smash your head in – it’s so romantic
Give it time, step on the stage, you’re in, you’ve paid – they love you
Now inside, your music plays myopic shades – how they love you

Given time, I wonder
Will this shrivel up and die?
Given time, I wonder, will your public expire?
Deconstruct your favourite scene
Every dope in the right place
A pity vote to answer the tears upon your face

Chorus

Everybody say goodbye
This night ends at 2:00AM
Everybody walk outside and try to keep from vomiting
