Last of the Ghetto Astronauts lyrics

What is life if not a joke
One night she went out for smokes
And they took her apart like a ragdoll
In the back of a van
In an Alabama motel room
I have one of them tied up in the bathroom
I am down and out
But he will not get away with it again

When the night comes in
I hope I'm out of the rain
When the night comes in
She makes me whole again

I never sleep
And I just watch TV

I made a movie about the end of the world
it was 12 seconds long and it didn't have a plot
it just happens
and that's why it's in black and white
the characters don't talk or move around
they just stare up at the sky, frozen
and the light, the light is numb, the light is off
the light is just a thumb nail sketch of god
god...
somewhere, someone is crying
the camera sweeps over a desolate street

Is there anything that I need to say
that hasn't been said before
I have been polite for too long
why should I be anymore
better now than never, better loud than clever
better just to play the fool
it's times like this
when you just close your eyes and kiss
cause everything after this
is just bullshit and being cruel
so hold me up, I'm going out
and don't wait up, I won't be coming home

Make me your animal
make me your freak and i will pack them in
it's understandable
after all you're only human
all this time it's been killing me
all this time it's been caving in my head
killing me
alive, alive, alive
you're dead

Haven't slept in years
haven't talked to anybody else

Make me your cannibal
make me your product and i will make you rich

Can you spare me a quarter
though I have no one to call
I just thought it might save my ass one day
If the sky or the free world were to fall
This is the only thing that I can do
This is the only thing I know how to say
and when everything is gone
and the night it seems grows long
Will you play this record anyway
There are a million ways to say it
There are a million lies to choose from

Just slide the hood,
It's nothing much,
You be Star sky and I'll be... Hutch,
And they'll never find out where we'll go,
We forward our calls illegally to Mexico,
You can be the sleeping cure,
And I'll memorize subversive literature,
From our secret mountain base,
We can broadcast all over the place,

Radiobomb!
The sound of freedom,
Radiobomb,
The sound of freedom.

Suffocate for me
You can pretend that you're pretty
It's too loud in here for me to tell
I wonder when you move
Do you look to see who's watching you
Locked in the groove, little bird
What will it cost to buy you back
To buy your eyes, to buy your smile
Well she wants to be the same
She wants a new name
She wants a new disguise

And all I want is you
All I want's the truth

I'm tired of blood and over priced bubble gum, mom
Nobody wake up, there's nothing you could have done wrong
I'm wearing the same grin, I take it all on the chin
I still believe everything that I read
And sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's harder
Sometimes it's on sale, sometimes it never fails
Well I have a psychic and she says I'm lonely
She says my destiny is turning out all wrong

A man once told me that life was like a collage
he said there's nothing much to spies like us
just killing time, that's all
and there are spacecrafts orbiting the earth
guided by 9

Take me to the shore
And wrap me in a blind tomorrow
I won't fight no more
and I won't scream
maybe we'll be washed away
maybe I just need a holiday

This time we'll get
a room with a view and a velvet painting
and this time, we'll stay inside
Until the lights go down
Over the palm trees and the sand

Buy me the blue sky
and wrap me in clouds of blasphemy
In the end I won't ask why
