Miracles of Modern Science are a string section in mutiny: guitars overboard! The Brooklyn, NY band squeezes together classical textures, disco kinetics, and explosive dynamics you might file under “post-rock” if their instruments weren’t decidedly pre-rock. ... more

- Track Name: MOMS AWAY!
-
I'm the seed of a gun, elevator to the sun
are you cold? are you cold?
you will need a typhoon on the surface of the moon
weren't you told? weren't you told?
secrets between robotic schemes giving me nightmares in my sleep
what do they mean, these psychotic dreams? why are they killing all my sheep?
secret machines inside the seams, draining the marrow from my bones
I think that I see they're not unlike me, they're just afraid of being alone
I'm in need of your stun, or my head might come undone
fall off whole, fall off whole
at full speed, at full speed, I am begging on my knees
for your hold, for your hold - Track Name: Strangerous
-
I watch you every day, try to catch your eye but you turn away
I mumble something weird, shuffle my feet and hunch my shoulders
I curse my nervous brain, my perforated face and my lanky frame
still I might hold you dear if I had a clue how to win you over
it's not enough to haunt you
and hide away in the crowd
but can i say i want you out loud
oh I'll just bide my time, puzzle out a plan how to make you mine
I got a shot of you, a tub of vaseline and a wad of tissue
hush now don’t make a sound, turn the music up, pull the covers down
oh do you love this too? stare into your eyes and pretend to kiss you
oh god what have I done? told you how I feel, now I feel your shun
how can I ever shake the terror in your eyes when I said I loved you
oh god oh god I'm dead, gotta run away, gotta hide my head
please just forget my face, I'll eradicate every memory of you - Track Name: Tensity
-
hiding in your sheets tonight till the quiet comes
thought I’d fly up, but I punctured the sky
swimming in your streets tonight till my time is done
deflated a cloud and it flapped to the ground, dragging me down as it fell
if I’m not all that you need, tell me what to be
I just like the way you breathe
want to see the things you see, I want to see the things you see, I want to see the things you see now
won’t you drag me out tonight? hold on to me dear
thought we’d blast off, but you just blacked out
try to keep my grip so tight, still you disappear - Track Name: Eating Me Alive
-
darling, we're in deep, it's true
try to part, we stick like glue
cancer's got nothing on you
you speak up as if on cue
ask me what I want to do
oh my dear I wish I knew
but darling please, I hope you see
it isn’t really up to me
figured that my heart would be my guide
but when I asked my heart my spleen replied
said “don't bother with your heart, he never can decide
stick with me, I'm better qualified”
dear, I don't know what to say
heart says go, my spleen says stay
insides are in disarray
there's no chance they'll meet halfway
get more pushy by the day
don't know whom to disobey
my darling dear, oh can't you see
you've upset my anatomy
I'm begging you for sympathy
my body fights so viciously
I think the time has finally arrived
to tear this useless organ from my hide
cause all this indecision, oh it's eating me alive
without my heart, could our love survive? - Track Name: Quantum Of Solace
-
now she spurts, now she sputters, now she dies, now she dies
pinch her cheek, prick her finger, still she lies, still she lies
are you there? can you hear me? no reply, no reply
peel the gauze off her forehead, kiss her eyes, kiss her eyes
just let me go to sleep, I want to go to sleep, I want to sleep
won't you please be my escort, won't you please be my shame
all i want is a body with no name
I’ll insist that I love you but you know it’s a lie
kill the lights, close the curtains, shut your eyes........
your outline shifts in and out of focus
heave a sigh hoping that you will notice
lying flat, blind with my eyes wide open
we won’t last, what use have we for hope then - Track Name: Luminol
-
I can hardly see you over all this noise
stale reverberations of your voice
enter through my eyeballs, bounce around my skull
fill me up until my mind is full
take me out of your head, feed me luminol instead
of your thoughts, of your skin, of your forays into sin
take me out of your mind, feed me drink until I'm blind
then I'll crawl back inside.
your lips are shaped like daggers gunning for my brain
cut me off before i can explain
going, gone, I’m nothing, must have lost my spine
through it all, I just repeat “I’m fine, I’m fine” - Track Name: Friend Of The Animals
-
tell me to go play dead
I will comply, I will comply
love is a sleeping dog
just let it lie, just let it lie
oh when i feel you stir
I smell your fear, I smell your fear
you burrow into the earth
and disappear, and disappear
when I say “I want you near”
sounds so high, only dogs can hear
but they sympathize – I see it in their dog eyes
that’s just me, I’ll always be a friend of the animals
if you don’t wanna love me I got animals to love me
my fuzzy brothers, four legged lovers
if you don’t wanna love me I got kittens I got puppies
under the covers
I’ve got a fuzzy drug
to ease my brain
nuzzle and lick and love
away my pain
I’ve got a fuzzy drug
to make me whole
creatures sent from above
to save my soul
I would call you my pet
but you don’t like when i call you that
so now i done found me one who loves me
you never could have understood a friend of the animals
if you don’t wanna love me I got animals to love me
my fuzzy brothers, four legged lovers
if you don’t wanna love me I got kittens I got puppies
under the covers
now that we’ve reached the end
I’m feeling fine, I’m feeling fine
you’ve got your more-than-friend
and I’ve got mine, and I’ve got mine
you don’t want to love me
I don’t want to love you
I can find other things to do
I’ve got friends at the petting zoo - Track Name: Space Chopper
-
space chopper, come and take me home
don’t leave me alone
just today thought I saw my sweetie
with a man who I’d seen her eyeing before
I can’t believe she could live without me
I can’t believe that I would care anymore
run a mile or compose a ballad
anything to keep from calling her on the phone
I need a goal, I need a habit
someone show me a road - Track Name: I Found Space
-
I hear my muffled, soupy breath
lick my lips each fourth or fifth
swallow my spit
it's amplified like through a cone
seems to echo through the dome
over my head
the polyester lining scrapes
against my six-day stubbled face
trapping my groans
I try and fail to twist my neck
my arms and legs pinned to a rack
cracking my bones
I went looking for heaven but I found space
and it was great, it was great
back home they thought I'd vanished without a trace
but I found space, I found space
I'm peering out this tiny hole
in a twenty gallon bowl
plastic and chrome
and all the stars and dust I see
look no more real than on TV
let me go home
craning for a better view
over metal walls
if I could return to you
I would ditch it all - Track Name: The Moon & Australia
-
your crumpled kiss
your empty body
the ashes from your cigarette
a little itch
creeping upon me
that this is all I’m gonna get
you’ve got this taste
since you quit me
I’ll probably never have you back
if that’s the case
just let it hit me
please, darling, let me feel the lack - Track Name: Bossa Supernova
-
they say you're a siren, they say you're a monster
but I never noticed, you hide it so well.
your smile seems it’ll age well, but then they tell me that it's only a lure
they might have been joking, but I couldn't tell.
when you fall down from heaven,
never reach the ground
float along through the ether
till you drown
no sooner it's started, I'm wishing it's over
my eye on the doorway, my hand on the bell
the shine under your eyelids, it sends a warning I could never ignore
or maybe it’s nothing, but how can I tell?
