about

A reworked version with more guitar, less Microbrute, and only second-person pronouns.

lyrics

Unknown co-conspirators, overcome by fumes, unknown co-conspirators.
Unknown co-conspirators, the Distant Early Warning Line, unknown co-conspirators.
Banking steeply off to the east away from the population centers.
A morning full of falling down.
A morning full of falling down.

When you got back to the car, the situation had changed:
the difference was like night and even darker night.
Your gathering awareness of a dull, hollow, intermittent slap —
as of someone splitting wood.
A morning full of falling down.
A morning full of falling down.

You presented your credentials for safe passage.
The guard gave you the evil eye but waved you clear.
You presented your credentials for safe passage.
You feel so fortunate that this isn't happening here.
A morning full of falling down.
A morning full of falling down.

The celebration of raw power, the denial of truth —
normal people in the grip of bizarre ideas.
Wound, flay, butcher, slay, murder without let or stay.
Wound, flay, butcher, slay, murder without let or stay.
A morning full of falling down.
A morning full of falling down.

And spider season starts earlier every year,
and there's more of them, and they're bigger,
and maybe you should move back to Colorado.
But there are black widows there.
A morning full of falling down.
A morning full of falling down.

"His blue eyes were bulging, glassy, and sightless, and the frantic playing had become a blind, mechanical, unrecognisable orgy that no pen could even suggest." — H.P. Lovecraft, The Music of Erich Zann
