Malaise Lyrics by Jesse Welles

2025

[Verse 1]
Up in the asylum
On the temple of the couch
I was a witness to immaculate TV
I will pray unto Laverne
And Shirley one last time
Before the supernova bleaches me
Will they measure Mars in acres?
Will we finally meet our makers?
Will Lucifer laugh until he cries?
On the great red plains of Mars
Underneath the same old stars
A trillion miles run and still I cannot hide
[Bridge]
Woo, woo, woo
[Verse 2]
With the frontiers all surveyed
And the buffalo put away
I wondered, what remains?
With every mountain logged thus
And every field farmed into dust
I guess we oughta go and put the sky in chains
Things determined are in motion
By some preternatural notion
How could it be, no-one consulted me
Oh I must've missed the meeting
The inter-dimensional committee
Though I must say I'm not insulted in the least
[Bridge]
Woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo
[Verse 3]
Aboard that billion light year frigate
I said toss me over, dig it
I am running from a ruthless, jealous god
You don't know what wrath is mateys
Never lived ye through the '80s
The war was cold, but the cocaine hit the spot
When they set the pole in concrete
And unfurl man's ragged longing
And the banner of accomplishment is raised
O'er the wasteland red as hell
I will wonder, wonder well
Who in space is left to blame for my malaise?
[Outro]
Woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo
