RETROFUTURE
The Analog Underground
We pledge allegiance to this dying and dystopian dream
We salvage the lost and found
Combustion engines, rusty robots, flying automobiles
We gotta win - we gotta win
Now we live - Retrofuture
Now we breathe - Retrofuture
Now we fight - Retrofuture
Now we die - Retrofuture
We spray our sign on the walls
and we recruit the underdog and angry rebel nerds
We hide in forsaken halls
Steampunk technology will make us fix the universe
We gotta win - we gotta win
Now we live - Retrofuture
Now we breathe - Retrofuture
Now we fight - Retrofuture
Now we die - Retrofuture

Man With The Eyepatch

MAN WITH THE EYEPATCH
Every night he’s looking / with his monocular sight
For me
Agent of misfortune / dressed just like a hard-boiled spy
Searching
Mental distress / Now I’m obsessed
Flashbacks of him in my youth / Planting bugs inside my tooth
Man with the eyepatch!
One-eyed monkey on my back / Man with the eyepatch!
Fire escapes and taxis / morning trains, steaming manholes
He’s there
Upside-down newspaper / watching through a cut-out hole
I swear
Mental distress / Now I’m obsessed
Visions of him years ago / hypnotizing in slo-mo
Mental distress / Now I’m obsessed
Flash-forward of myself soon / gouging my eye with a spoon
Man with the eyepatch!

MYSTERY ZONE
The ship / began to slide
and then we went down / the whirlpool
How come we didn’t die?
What is this underwater dome?
Now we;ll make it our home…
The Mystery Zone
The Deep Ones
Sea creatures / a hybrid race
Are we becoming / the Deep Ones?
We carry Hydra's face
And we all bow down to her throne
And we;ll make it our home…
The Mystery Zone
The Deep Ones

ENIGMA MACHINE
So many lines before my eyes
So many scripts and riddles
But only one I cannot solve
And it’s the truth around the lies
the way you hurt like needles
I know some people call it love
So tell me how / I can make it
If I don’t have an enigma machine
To find your code / and translate it
I gotta build an enigma machine
I thought I was a higher mind
Encrypted signs and cyphers
They were so easy to analyze
But when you speak I cannot find
A sense in tears and laughters
Your puzzle I can’t finalize
So tell me how / I can make it
If I don’t have an enigma machine
To find your code / and translate it
I gotta build an enigma machine

Eight Zero Two / Seven Zero One
I gently touch the braided wires
And the copper tubes
Steam circuits I bended with my pliers
And the bell jar fuse
Taking this alembic for a ride
Eight Zero Two / Seven Zero One
Now I have watched the sun decline
Everything went black
My machine still works but where am I?
I cannot go back
Lost within the gears of fourth dimension
Eight Zero Two / Seven Zero One

Tentacle!

TENTACLE!
Yes, I’ve been drinking toxic sludge
and now I rule the world at large
Purple dictatorship
200 years ahead, humanity’s enslaved to me
Been messing with the Chron-O-John
The diamond was just a zircon
No way to stop my plot
The past is dead and gone and Tentacle will not be caught
1-2-3-4 Tentacle is on the loose!
Suction cups upon
the American flag!
Tentacle!

Paradox

PARADOX
I can still recall / when I saw it fall
Silent to the ground
Had no shape at all / smelled like aerosol
Made a humming sound
Now time’s an equation / on a cartesian plane
What once was love / is now / a free variable
What have you done / dark matter
What have you done / dark matter
I have become / a specter
Trapped in a Paradox
Feelings make no sense / they are the consequence
Of numbers on a chart
and isn’t it sweet / when a pulsar beats
Like a human heart?

THREE HOLES IN MY HEAD
Yes / I’ve got tools and will to do it
Gonna free my inner spirit
Gonna surf on my brain waves
That’s right / this procedure’s kinda simple
Like squeezing an old pimple
Press it harder and be brave
Three holes in my head / to stay high forever
Three holes in my head / to be high again
Three holes in my head / to stay high forever
Three holes in my head / Oh yeah!
I / really got three holes in my head
Trepanation was a success
Primitive self-surgery
That’s right / now I’m floating like a tuna
And I’m smiling like a Buddah
Psychedelic jamboree
Three holes in my head / to stay high forever
Three holes in my head / to be high again
Three holes in my head / to stay high forever
Three holes in my head / Oh yeah!
Put a drill to my head / cracked it up like an egg
Best time I've ever had

BEWARE OF THE SPIRAL SHAPE
You must avoid the weird staircase
It s a gateway to hell
And decorations of mayonnaise
And creatures with a shell
Arabian numbers fill my dreams
Where rabbits multiply
And I can t find no logic scheme
Is Zephirus a lie?
Beware of the spiral shape x2
Beware of the spiral
Beware, there is no escape
Those lines will make you go insane
There s no way you can climb
The bottom of a hurricane
Or the funnel of time
Beware of the spiral shape x2
Beware of the spiral
Beware, there is no escape

Business As Unusual

BUSINESS AS UNUSUAL
Jumping through timelines
Solving future crimes
Drinking alien scotch
Briefcase filled with cash
Dashboard full of trash
In my flying Dodge
Weirdness everyday x2
Business as unusual
But I love my job
Android hookers keep me warm
And at least I don’t
Have to grow that Martian corn
Business as unusual
Chasing alcohol
With pepto-bismol
Old coffee mug stains
My Fedora hat
shelters me from that
Yellow acid rain

PARALLEL GUY
We still have all / the Ramones
Stargate is with / Indiana Jones
Yeah this is my world, I’m a Parallel Guy
Our Pope is / a communist
and pigeons / they don’t exist
Yeah this is my world, I’m a Parallel Guy
We’re not the same…
Don’t try to mess with me ‘cause I’m
From a far dimension / where everything is cool
We fixed these issues long ago
And now please pay attention / as I explain to you
Parallel Guy
The atomic / bomb was fake
And umbrellas / they never break
Yeah this is my world, I'm a parallel guy
Neil Armstrong went and with his tent
He’s camping on the moon now
I’m not insane, we’re not the same...
The earth is flat, hop on a jet
and you can reach the border
We’re not the same...

DEADLY EYE
There is a deadly eye
Beyond the final seal
There is a deadly eye
Curse of ancient gods
There is a deadly eye
Death to those who steal
There is a deadly eye
Meet your epilogue
The eye has a mission to watch over the remains
A timeless monition for those about to profane
It's no superstition, the guilty will have to pay
The pharaoh's volition's alive and is here to stay
The pyramid chamber is where he forever lies
You gotta remember, his vengeance is gonna rise
Disturbing the slumber is gonna awake the eye
By arrow, by ember or virus, you're gonna die

Continuum

CONTINUUM
I’m lost in this continuum / where / I don’t belong
Don’t / know how I got here / did I do something wrong?
Maybe it’s connected to that / man / with the eyepatch
Or / the solar storm I / saw on the almanac
I guess the fabric of my / old / dimension ripped
I / got for some reason / ink on my fingertips
Is this reality or delirium? Future or past?
Continuum!
