Pyramids on Mars - Pop. 1280, Void Vision

I had been asleep for days

In a metal tube between the trees

Dreamed I saw father’s face

On each and all the leaves

I visited him in a nursing home

The same place I’d been born

Told him I would steal a car

He told me there were no pyramids on Mars

Under a highway overpass

I fell down on the grass

I sniffed and smeared the carbon track

Chlorophyll and an oily mass

A fool came running through the rust

He told me why I’d always lost

I asked him how he got his scars

He told me there were no pyramids on Mars

I woke up on an abandoned path

A lock of hair and a subway map

A payphone rang with a nervous laugh I answered it so fast

A familiar voice wouldn’t give a name

Told me things would always be this way

Death’s the thing between the stars

And there are no pyramids on Mars

There were no pyramids on Mars

No pyramids on Mars

No pyramids on Mars

No pyramids on Mars

No pyramids on Mars

No pyramids on Mars

No pyramids on Mars
