The Electric Ant
They said they didn't deal with my kind
I just needed a tune-up, a quick job
But not to come here, as it upsets the people
It was really quite embarrassing
They said, had nobody told,
Had nobody mentioned that you're an electric ant?
Well, er, no
They opened up my chest
Unclogged the reel
Tape back on the pinion
Oil topped on the wheels
I saw myself, punched on the tape
Everything I love and hate
My world, my past
All defined, by holes in a line
They opened up my chest
Unclogged the reel
Tape back on the pinion
Oil topped on the wheels
I saw myself, punched on the tape
Everything I love and hate
My world, my past
All defined, by holes in a line
I unfold the tape
Onto the shelf
A one dimensional map
That creates myself
Everything I am
And all that I can be
Anamnesia
I remember everything
I watch myself unwind
Spools spilling on the floor
A one dimensional map
That creates my world
Everything that was
Anything that could be
I'm the electric ant
I unfold the tape
Onto the shelf
A one dimensional map
That creates myself
Everything I am
And All that I can be
Anamesia
I remember everything
I watch myself unwind
Spools spilling on the floor
A one dimensional map
That creates my world
Everything that was
Anything that could be
The electric ant I remember everything
I just needed a tune-up, a quick job
But not to come here, as it upsets the people
It was really quite embarrassing
They said, had nobody told,
Had nobody mentioned that you're an electric ant?
Well, er, no
They opened up my chest
Unclogged the reel
Tape back on the pinion
Oil topped on the wheels
I saw myself, punched on the tape
Everything I love and hate
My world, my past
All defined, by holes in a line
They opened up my chest
Unclogged the reel
Tape back on the pinion
Oil topped on the wheels
I saw myself, punched on the tape
Everything I love and hate
My world, my past
All defined, by holes in a line
I unfold the tape
Onto the shelf
A one dimensional map
That creates myself
Everything I am
And all that I can be
Anamnesia
I remember everything
I watch myself unwind
Spools spilling on the floor
A one dimensional map
That creates my world
Everything that was
Anything that could be
I'm the electric ant
I unfold the tape
Onto the shelf
A one dimensional map
That creates myself
Everything I am
And All that I can be
Anamesia
I remember everything
I watch myself unwind
Spools spilling on the floor
A one dimensional map
That creates my world
Everything that was
Anything that could be
The electric ant I remember everything
