Masterfade

Well, you sure didn't look like you were having any fun

With that heavy-metal gaze they'll have to measure in tonnes

And when you look up at the sky all you see are 0

And all you see are 0 and 1

You took my hand and led me down to watch the kewpie doll parade

And we let the kittens lick our hair and drank our chalky lemonade

It's not that I just didn't care, I must admit I was afraid

And I'm awfully glad my finger's resting gently on the masterfade

The masterfade

I coulda played along

The masterfade

Oh, I coulda played Mahjong

But it just takes too long

And I just can't remember which way the east wind blows

Does it matter?

If we're all matter

What's it matter does it matter?

If we're matter when we're done?

When the sky is full of 0 and 1

I saw you standing all alone in the electrostatic rain

I thought at last I'd found a situation you can't explain

With GPS you know it's all just a matter of degrees

Your happiness won't find you underneath that canopy of trees

If the green grass is 6 and the soybeans are 7

The junebugs are 8 the weeds and thistles are 11

The 1 just hold their place, the 0 make a smiley face

When they come floating down from the heavens

You took my hand and led me down to watch a papillon parade

And we let the kittens lick our hair and drank our chalky lemonade

You squeezed my hand and told me softly that I shouldn't be afraid, no

'Cause all the while your finger's resting, gently on the masterfade

The masterfade (Oh no)

I coulda played along

The masterfade, no no (oh no)

Oh I coulda played Mahjong

But it just takes too long

And who the hell can remember which way the east wind blows?

When you're lying on the ground staring up at an inverted compass

I mean, Christ who knows?
