lyrics

Come on in. Time to begin...

Memorized greeting. Rehearsed response. Contort the face into a smile. Vacant eyes all the while. Dance the dance of the machine. The illusion of life made of Plasticine. Glue the eyes on, looks so real, but paint the eyelids crystal clear. Eyes closed, wide open.

Come on in to have revenge. Come on in. It's time to end this game that we call life. We cannot win. Come on and dance the dance of the machine. Spin and tighten up the lyre strings. But all the evils of the gods are locked inside your tiny golden box. The gods have promised all the eyes can see. Your mind, it burns with curiosity. Your hands are bloodied, and your face is guarded. Buried your secret out in the backyard.

The moonlight's so inviting, inviting you insane. Coaxing you to shadows, the shadows of your brain. Your curiosity is piqued. I'm afraid tonight they'll be no sleep. The moonlight paints your eyelids clear.

Come on and dance the dance of the machine. It's time for you to end this sad routine. The rock removed, the battle waged and lost. You open up the box.

Just a quick twist of the golden key opens the lid and sets them free. Slithering serpents on the wing. Hark! the putrid creatures sing. Death, disease, insanity. Open the lid and set them free.

How can we close the lid unscathed with all the horrors left uncaged? Pretend it's just a fairy tale. Recite the words, our daily jail. When foreboding rears its ugly head, we'll know precisely when we're dead. Man can live on hope alone. Close the lid to atone. We'll reap the seeds that we have sown.

Shamalamamonkey Indiana

Very little is known about the band at this time. Witness accounts say the band includes between 1 and 13 people. Their impromptu performances range from 30 seconds to 13 hours and are performed with various disguises and under alternate band names. These shows are rarely announced, often in remote areas, and occasionally even without an audience. No one knows why. ... more
