lyrics

The Parts That Need Replacing

The medicine of death is best swallowed with laughter 
Scuppered convictions dim the stage lights 
Belief sustains the object of belief
Eat the parts that need replacing 

I’ve used up angels like batteries.
And human nature hates you.
Sour release and sweet relief.
Eat the parts that need replacing.

Only biology cares to survive.
A killer, consciousness contrives.
The body alone can process grief.
Eat the parts that need replacing.

I cut your hair and missed a bit
And now your head drains on the floor.
The gift of death, munificent thief -
Eat the parts that need replacing.

The best special effects are those you don’t see
Like empathy without feeling 
Our time on hell is oh so brief 
Eat the parts that need replacing 

Memory resides inside the body. 
Let me help you forget
