Captains (Then Spies) Lyrics by Mars Accelerator

Frankfurt: Telephonics (color coding and directional signals)

1998

Is that right?
Have the taciturn turned spy?
I’ve been spy-like
Been shaped and formed to fit the ampliative neophyte
A master plan of the captains and spies
With their chic maleficence, tautological postulate, and end all vibes
Is that right?
Do the words fly like they’ve capsized?
And you’re outshined, thinking maybe not all subjects are as demanding of predicate insight
The master plan of the captains, then spies
To heed the algorithms and the preterit vibes
So here’s to auld lang syne!
And to lapsed appraisal and slapdash answers
Until the sapid itch turns bedroom cancer
Failed lax deeds and postulates, so much for the wonder-kids
Failed, flat, teemed, and postureless, so much for the wonder-kids
Dish eyed, fish eyed, and faux-shy
Fought and tried but you couldn't say “no”
Bought their way down an obscene throat
Though we never really knew enough to know
That the shackling ties often come and go
Some things left that I ought to say
If I’m pressed to speak then it works its way
Though I never really had too much to say
Knowing things run amok, and then they run away
Saying, "[It wakes up / Wouldn't stop] and you couldn't say no,” “God's too precious not to know,” “Parlour tricks often steal the show"
You don't want enough to know that your parlour tricks just reveal your show
And did you ever really think you'd go [solo/so low]
But when you're out there, alone…
