Black As Their Eyes / Space Rawk

from Pretty Black Sun by Nefarious Foodie

/

lyrics

We all knew it was gonna come to this, huh?
Heh. I knew, I always knew it was gonna come to this.
Let me tell you about it.

You see, they take you up inside this disc –
this kind of spatial-spectral craft where
everything blends into everything else,
a – a flying saucer, you know? & these
little gray beings – but not so little, from
where you’re lying – they’re staring down
at you, backlit by blinding light
& flooding your brain with thoughts
& images, psychic like you see on TV shows,
& the whole time you’re wondering,
“Is this real? Is this really happening?”

You especially wonder when they
roll out a multi-limbed mechanical apparatus,
faces not devoid but incapable of expression,
eyes wide as dinner plates
& Bible Black, with little mouth-slits
that move but make no sound. They’re
floating you around on an anti-grav electrum slab –
you can hear everything they’re gonna do to you.
There’s an eagerness, a readiness, a thirst,
spidery fingers sampling your naked skin.
You hear the whirring as their machine starts up –

Oh, wait, I hear the whirring.
You can’t hear it, just imagine it.

After that it’s all black, black as their eyes.
& you know what? I think I prefer it that way.
Except, sometimes when I’m asleep I remember
things I wish I could wipe away on waking.

(Panting)

I need them –
My eyes
My genitals
My tongue.

(nameless chanting)

It's crazy you know
it's all coming down –
Everybody's got a mini teapot on their head
in place of a toupee.
