“GODZILLA AT A BUFFET LINE”

(C. DeCracken, idea by D. Thorngage)

 

 

[grinding gearspounding pistonsthrashing chains, and lava eruptions samples]

 

[m.b. They Live] “Heh heh. It figures it would be something like this”

 

[spoken]

It is true

Godzilla: King of the Monsters

He’s back

and he will not stop

 

[m.b. The Running Man] “All they want is some food for God’s sake”

 

We beg

And we plead

Please, please

Just let us eat

 

[CHORUS 1]

[grinding gearspounding pistonsthrashing chains, and lava eruptions samples]

[m.b. Punisher (1989)] “What do you want?”

[s.b. The Simpsons New Kid on the Block]

“That man ate all our shrimp, and two plastic lobsters”

“ ‘Tis no man. ‘Tis a remorseless eatin’ machine”

[m.b. Punisher (1989)]

“There’s a limit to revenge”

“Well I guess I haven’t reached mine yet”

 

[m.b. In the Mouth of Madness] “The way it has swallowed our minds”

 

It never ends

It never ends!

 

[CHORUS 2]

Is there an end

To this plight

Is there meaning

To this life

And has it all

been a lie

Has it all

been a lie

 

[s.b. The Simpsons New Kid on the Block] “Do these sound like the actions of a man that had all he could eat?”

 

Is this a message

About our life

Forever stuck

In the night

 

Just out of reach

The end at its peak

Always a tease

That can never be

 

[s.b. Fear Factory Crisis] “Cri-sis, cri-sis, cri-sis, cri-sis”

 

[CHORUS 2]

 

[fading]

What they said was true

It will never end

It will never end

It will never end

It   can   never   end

 

[CHORUS 1]

 

[CHORUS 3]

[sung]

How I miss the way things were

Oh, how I miss the way things were

How I miss the way things were

Oh, how I miss the way things were

 

[sung]

Remember when

Remember when Amelia would sing us to sleep

As we took turns sleeping in the sink

Two took the tub, and the last the can's seat

And we would dream, and would we dream

 

[sung]

Remember when

Remember when we would wake up and scream

From nightmares and things that could be

And Amelia assured “It’s only a dream”

And hold us all right back to sleep

 

[CHORUS 3]

 

[sung]

Remember when

Remember when we would sneak out to see

To spy on our neighbors through night-scope green

And root through their garbage to thieve

Records and info and pictures with glee

 

[sung]

Remember when

Remember when we would prank the police

About stalkers and fires and militant freaks

And with guns and boots they would all come running

And we’d fill their cars with kerosene

 

[CHORUS 3]

 

[CHORUS 1]

 

[m.b. In the Mouth of Madness] “The way it has swallowed our minds”

 

Mind melting

Conscious loosing

It  looses

It…

 

Subterfuge, centrifuge

Synthetic defenstration

Esoteric recalibrations

Diurnal oculus

 

quod erat demonstrandum

Speedipus rex

Road-Runnerus digestus

...Quid pro quo

 

Krah soph heu

Brah so la

Ahn ach meh

Droh drah

Draaaauuuuu-

 

[long drone sample]

 

[m.bm The Hitcher (1986)] “Alright, the roads clear now. Come on, get goin’ sweethearts”

 

There is an end!

[b/g vocals] There is an end!

There is an end!

[b/g vocals] There is an end!

To this line!
