lyrics

The poison food is free, the poison drinks are free
There’s a clanking, whirring death-knell where my heartbeat used to be
The bright lights of despair, keep the prisoners in their chairs
Desperation in the air, the aroma of nightmares. My fellow zombies ride, I think this one has died
The ashtrays may have gone but we’re all black inside.

Criminal, subliminal death machine
Positively, definitely the best you’ve ever seen
Painted violence, envy and greed
Criminal, subliminal death machine

Favourite dope of mine, the flashing, glowing lines
I hate myself, I love myself, I’ll be drinking nothing but top-shelf.

Criminal, subliminal death machine
Positively, definitely the best you’ve ever seen
Painted violence, envy and greed
Criminal, subliminal death machine

I came at 5 o’clock, I left at 5 o’clock
I think I lost my house while the sun went round the block
Buzzing and flying, rewiring my brain
Au revoir my love until I see your lights again

Criminal, subliminal death machine
Positively, definitely the best you’ve ever seen

Such a joyful collection of songs. Nothing like quintessential Melbourne alternative rock to lift the spirits. Listening during yet another lockdown transports me to a band room in my favourite pub. Thanks for the music lads- looking forward to seeing you for real when we get outta here. Jacqui L
