Retrovertigo

(Album: California - 1999)

Before you advertise
All the fame is implied
With no fortune unseen
Sell the rights to your blight time machine
While I'm dulled by excess (dulled by excess)
And a cynic at best (cynic at best)
My art imitates crime
Paid for by the allies, so invest

Now I'm finding truth is a ruined, nauseous end that nobody is pursuing
Staring into glassy eyes, mesmerized
There's a vintage thirst returning, but I'm sheltered by my channel surfing
Every famine virtual
Retrovertigo

A tribute to false memories with conviction, cheap imitation
Is it fashion or disease? Post-ironic, remains a mouth to feed

Sell the rights to your blight and you'll eat

Now I'm finding truth is a ruined, nauseous end that nobody is pursuing
Staring into glassy eyes, mesmerized
See the vintage robot wearied then awakened by revision theories
Every famine virtual
Retrovertigo
