about
The music to the verses in this was originally a Strobe Talbot outtake thingy from the previous year (2002); Benb wrote extra the extra bits and words.
lyrics
and now the same again from higher stations
we sit for aegis on imaginations
your number’s up; i’ve got your number down
there isn’t anything that wants for naming
only a target for a future blaming
my number’s listed, but i’m out of town
there’s no apology for any error
there’s only system and the system-bearer
we bear the system and wait for the bus
we spend eternity in search of stasis
we’re onto greener lawns and off our faces
years will go, maybe returning as us
the earth spins on our time, and never does it say:
“thank you for the
names for numbers”—we’re done without them
how could the living ever know to doubt them?
our calculations show x, y, and three
if there is only one, we’re only fractions
and cast ambiguous in all our actions
please let’s not be less than just, you and me.
