Masterfade

Well you sure didn't look like you were having any fun
 With that heavy-metal gaze they'll have to measure in tons
 And when you look up at the sky
 All you see are zeros
 And all you see are zeros and ones
 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, I coulda played Mah Jongg
 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 all matter when we're done?
 When the sky is full of zeros and ones
 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 six and the soybeans are seven
 The junebugs are eight, the weeds and thistles are eleven
 And if the one's just hold their place, the zero's 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
 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
 'Cause all the while your finger's resting gently on the masterfade
 The masterfade, I coulda played along
 The masterfade, I coulda played Mah Jongg
 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?
