From the recording In The Skyline

What we need is a dream
And the good sense to think it through
The courage to make the move
But what we are (what we really are)
Cartoon heroes taking calls
from deserted phone booths behind the mall
Oh ominous skies streaked with things to come!
Oh happy mutations for everyone!
Til the day the dream goes sour
And turns to poison visions of lizards tearing cities down
Creature Feature
Look at what we’re breeding in the backyard pool
Creature Feature
What started out as innovation
Quickly turned into an invasion
It begins with a simple sin
A vague suspicion
That everything worthwhile is hidden
In the cracks of your wall
Poetry and dreams will follow
And swallow you whole
We could be drama queens in poker face
Strike a deathly pose just to raise the stakes
This is it! Our finest hour
Kiss your television and pray for science fiction
Creature Feature
Look at what we’re breeding in the backyard pool
Creature Feature
What started out as innovation
Quickly turned into an invasion
La la la la…
In the skyline
There’s a lifeline
It’s like a loop hole
very few find
so when your world moves
it’s somewhere to escape to
somewhere out of bounds
your mind is running over
with visions that you found
Strange enough to make the world go hush
Tongue-tied and stupefied and waiting for the rush…Oh!
Creature Feature
Look at what we’re breeding in the backyard pool
Creature Feature
What started out as innovation
Quickly turned into an invasion
Creature Feature
Look at what we’re breeding in the backyard pool
Creature Feature
What started out as innovation
Quickly turned into an invasion
Creature Feature
Look at what we’re breeding in the backyard pool
Creature Feature
What started out as innovation
Quickly turned into an invasion
