Telephones,
To talk,
Televisions,
To see,
Telegrams,
To taste,
Hot,hot!...

You who believe in the efficacy of treatment,
Keep me informed of progress.
'Cause what I see are days in a row,
falling off the calendar
Like bodies in an abyss.

In the new season of disasters,
Televisions only report laughter.
Yes... Life insists on eliminating 
the bad smell of time,
Distributing fake flowers in every way....

Caterpillars are transforming
to butterflies

Dead thousand-year trees
are now infested by mushrooms

Analogue televisions are being
replaced by digital television

Radios and CD Players are being guided 
to the technological graves by ipods

Post-offices are being wiped out
by emails and facebook

I am almost reaching thirty
tears of age!

It seems that everything
is aging...

something strange to earth was sent
dropped some art then simply went
now lonely spiders left on mars
watch red shoes dance on dusty stars
and walls of televisions sing
sweet things about the rebel king
the lad insane, the skinny duke
androgynous inspired fluke
flight of peacock, coloured flash
funkin’ funky ash to ash
china diamond, cold as god
genuinely, truly odd

THE RADICAL TREATMENT

You who believe in the effectiveness of treatment,
You who are part of the happy tribe,
Keep me informed of progress.
'Cause what I see are days in a row,
falling off the calendar
Like bodies in an abyss.

In the new season of disasters,
Televisions only report laughter.
Yeah, don't be fooled:
Life insists on eliminating the bad smell of time
Distributing fake flowers in every way....

The wind blows
as the leafs tremble
and the ocean shivers

Televisions are watched
as games are played
and the phone is ringing

The children go to school
as parents work
and criminals do their dirt

The fridge chills
as the freezer freezes
and the toaster pops

The singer harmonizes
as the people dance
and the beat bounces

The monitor freezes
as the computer crashes

and you listen to this as it makes no sense !...

and our thoughts that were serious
turned life into acidity
but we're celebrating having survived
without tearing each other down too much
see, I allow myself to laugh at the televisions
as you solve cross puzzles
on this corner the milky way would be friendly
if we managed the odysseys correctly
maybe something dark is coming
mortal fleeing from the center of the universe
but we are ready the oracle said
because we have a surname hecatomb...

There is one thing I would find quite swell,
I want to be on stage meeting Howie Mandel.
Here I would be making crucial decisions,
while my family and friends are watching their televisions.
There are twenty-six lovely women in their places.
Each one holds varying dollar amounts in their cases.
What if such a fantasy were real?
The banker calls Howie to increase the deal.
Let’s get all those low values out of the way.
Howie let me be on your show today....
