Queen Of Despair (Ode to the Diode) - Chemlab

I’m a space cadet

I’ll be the first to admit it

Feeling inundated with surface noise skip

Swamped with static hiss crackle blip

Feel like I’m wound too tight

Mainline the power grid tonight

Hooked up to the tv iv

Drain drain all day

Whispers quietly away

Klips and blips

Steer me out into the stream

Of channel-scratching noise

And away from the world

Space cadet

I’ll be the first to admit it

I’m double-sided in three ways

Fractionalised behind bit-mapped eyes

I miss your digitised face

Broken in pixelate

Desynchronise

Come unglued

Stretch out your strands

And I’ll connect with you

Disconnect with you

Stubbed out your frustration

In my ashtray hole

In my black-and-blue soul

Pour my brain into a paper cup and

Scrape myself across the universe

I’ll be your king of decay

If you’ll be my queen of despair

We’ll make a lovely desperate pair
