Intro

 Well you sure didn't look like you were having any fun

 with that heavy-metal gaze they'll have to measure in tons

 and when you look up at the sky

all you see are zeros / all you see are zeros and ones

you took my hand and lead me down to watch a kewpie doll parade

we let the kittens lick our hair and drank our chalky lemonade

it's not that I just didn't care I must admit I was afraid

and I'm awfully glad my finger's resting gently on the masterfade

 the masterfade / I coulda played along

 the masterfade / I coulda played Mah Jongg / but it just takes too long

 and I just can't remember / which way the east wind blows

 does it matter? / If we're all matter/ what's it matter does it matter

 if we're all matter when we're done?

 when the sky is full of zeros and ones

I saw you standing all alone in the electrostatic rain

I thought at last I'd found a situation you can't explain

with GPS you know it's all just a matter of degrees

your happiness won't find you underneath that canopy of trees

 if the green grass is 6 the soybeans are 7

 the junebugs are 8 the weeds and thistles are 11

 and if the 1s just hold thier place the 0s a smiley face

 when they come floating down from the heavens

you took my hand and lead me down to watch a papillon parade

we let the kittens lick our hair and drank our chalky lemonade

you squeezed my hand and told me softly that I shouldn't be afraid

'cause all the while your finger's resting gently on the masterfade

 the masterfade I coulda played along / the masterfade

 I coulda played Mah Jongg but it just takes too long

 and who the hell can remember which way the east wind blows

 when your lying on the ground staring up at an inverted compass

 I mean Christ who Knows?
