help us help remove you
from the same old thing.
help us help remove you from the scene that you're in.
how they gonna do that?
you sit there wondering
what will my kids think?
you sit there wondering
but life's filled with surprises
baffling disguises
comes in different sizes
our advise to you is
strip that all away, strip that all away
strip that all away you're looking at
your self

Prepare yourself as a vehicle
Your body won't be leaving
life presents itself this time
as thought out lines no thinking
I told you that life drew that one for you
five hours on your birthday
May be we shouldn't talk
and risk it's destruction
Maybe see it's not the heaven that we're entering
The flowers that adorn the room
ready to receive the you
that's not quite you
but the rise of another
honorably occupied
sacrificed
with great respect
finally at rest
while the rest they
see it as a change
a little phase
you know the truth
you know the truth
you know the truth
you know the truth
goodbye goodbye hello
goodbye goodbye hello
goodbye goodbye hello
goodbye goodbye hello
hello hello hello
hello hello hello

you are right now what you will be then
you just haven't arrived yet
or tried to fully get
what these puppets
protect
I have come to find
that these puppets combined
with the mind
minus your mind
is the perfect mind
in the past just bits and pieces
in the present
not much more
in the future
all you know will put
puppets on pedestals
and a bit of the truth
you need us more than we need you
I have come to find
that these puppets combined
with the mind
minus your mind
is the perfect mind

these puppets see through
these puppets see through
false friends and the judases
that surround us
you can help us
but around us
you should not trust
these friends have rendered trust dead
these friends have rendered trust dead
we see the friends who take but don't give back
count all the knives
in these puppets backs
stereotype a one
action as a whole group
unlike us
jesus was so damn lucky
he only had
one judas
whereas
these puppets have
a cornucopia of judases

out there in the cold
they were all inside
anything but warm
and thought to surely die
afraid of the hair in the air
never wondered why
but tried to fix a zipper
to keep out the cold
then sold out to stop trying
there between the folds
trapped inside inside
trapped inside inside
trapped inside inside
trapped inside inside
morning came so quickly
it froze my whole right side
open there the air was
it was creeping up inside
trapped inside inside
trapped inside inside
trapped inside inside
trapped inside inside
if the east equals self
i felt your house was the
extroverted west
ain't the best
the extroverted west
ain't it ironic
it's where the sun must set
ain't it ironic
it's where the sun
the extroverted west
the extroverted west
the extroverted west
ain't it ironic
that's where the sun sets

these tried not to
but failed
these puppets pretended to not care
but see their words taken and returned
not theirs
unaware unaware
these puppets see people
who hear it and repeat
nothing of their own to see
these puppets don't know how that feels
to steal something that you cannot steal
how do you feel? how do you feel?
how do you feel? how do you feel?
these puppets laugh and say oh well
we feel like we're like a fountain
where more than many drink
our instinct
and forget
where it was they had the drink
we don't have to think
pretending
there's people, people who take water
and they present it to the fountain
as theirs
something new
we travel through
we travel through
away coming day
oh there's no way it sits still
you were moving
you stayed hardly aging
now all we hear
they say it clearly
we used to fear
us extended by the right to us
us by us
extended right to us
they said clearly
used to fear
us extended by the right to us

enough incentive
to stay alive
you'll find
almighty Opp provides
leaving but we're coming back
we pull it out
just to put it back
we're leaving but we're coming back
we pull it out
just to put it back
we know it hurts
don't it hurt so good?
we know it hurts
don't it hurt so good?
This is the point in your life
that feels like
you'll never get
a trophy
or the blue ribbon
a big one to place on your mantle
a symbol of a purpose
a purpose in this place
in this place
just in case
you need to make
a reason
just in case
you need to make
some sort of a purpose
Realize after hypnotized
you'll find
almighty Opp provides
enough incentive to stay alive
even when you're all alone
leaving but we're coming back
we pull it out
just to put it back

we'll make your life
flash behind your eyes
at least we'll try to make you
feel high
everything we say could be a lie
but if we make it sound real nice
you'll never notice
If you multiply these puppets
times you
you'll get a better you
every time
a long overdue you
a long overdue you
that's what we wanna do
make a more bearable you
that's what we wanna do
make a more bearable you
now that the story's been prefaced
you know our purpose
at least we have one
you're just like a groundhog
when these puppets whistle
you stick your head up
long enough to get a bullseye
right on top of it
long enough to get a bullseye
right on it
can't you see you're our target?
can't you see?
can't you see you're our target?
Stick your head up
it's the best part
when you stick your head up

there's something about these puppets
we don't know what it is
but it's right
it's right
so tonight if it's all ended
there's no one left in sight
we're delighted
that our message won't die
with the other flesh
delighted
that our message won't die
with the other flesh
when it all goes away
when all this goes away
when this all goes away
when it all goes away
only a puppet hand remains
a helping hand to guide
nobody
through nothing
that was once here
now not here
where we are
still
a star that you can follow
if you still are not sure
that a star
you can follow
will include you in the rapture
include you in the rapture
include you in the rapture
won't be here to aid
your lost way
these puppets have already been
saved

it'll all be over soon
it'll all be over soon
let us tell you
oh!
it'll all be over soon
it'll all be over soon
oh!
you think this is a puppet show
we'll show you something you didn't know
all the time
time
and while your brain is occupied
we slide
something in the other side
la dee la da!
there's a puppet show
oh you didn't know
it's gonna change your life
just a little puppet show on a bike
it changed your life
almighty Opp they do it right
almighty Opp they do it right
don't worry
it's good for you
don't worry
we'll take care of you
don't worry
it's good for you
don't worry
we'll take care of you
a puppet show
oh you didn't know
it's gonna change your life
just a little puppet show on a bike
it changed your life
puppets are illegal
in some places
people afraid of subliminal messages
and they're right
it's just a little puppet show on a bike
that changed your life
there's a puppet show
oh you didn't know
it's gonna change your life
just a little puppet show on a bike
it changed your life
we changed your life

some of our puppets have compartments in their heads
a space for placing anything
hair and blood and fingernails
any personal detail
cause in the back of your mind
it's there
connected to your puppet
in new ways beyond the strings
and we sing
to know thy puppet is to know
thyself
to further your puppet
is the greatest wealth
it's more than a question of time or matter
because beyond the physical wrapper
it's the real you
without what you think you are
a person
shout it out loud
i'm not me
i'm not me
i'm not me
i'm not me
i'm not me
cause in the back of your mind
it's there
connected to your puppet
in new ways beyond the strings

every puppet has it's limit
and when you're tossed back
in the abyss
your puppet will then be owner-less
how do you explain death to a puppet?
how do you explain death to a puppet?
we know that careful choice of words
helps take away the hurt
and soothes the inner puppet
pain
way way way down
way down
these puppets demonstrate
these puppets demonstrate
restraint
you never knew it
when we look at you with psuedo-sincere smiles
you never knew it
how else could we look at you
all this while
you didn't know you were on trial
you could've never known it
you didn't know you were on trial
there's no way you could have known
we've got not one
but many puppets
and sure makes a whole lot of judges
you didn't know you were on trial
you didn't know you were on trial
you didn't know you were on trial
how do you explain death to a puppet?
how do you explain death to a puppet?

a blank strip of paper
turned over and over
teased amongst those present
who can go on
no further
they don't really know or care
that they're all ready there
the place
where puppets come from
unfortunately unaware
and lacking the proper credentials
there's puppet-less people
who make life so unbearable
life's so easy it's hard
for you
so let us sow our seed into you
no need for observations
after altered
we consider you our children
our children
Twisted your little arm
symbolically
but you never stopped
becoming overly camouflaged
intentionally
you never stop
We keep wondering
wondering why
can a puppet say anything
why?
you call us cute no matter
what we do
it's the truth
truth is not our specialty
it's tucked away so carefully
it's not our specialty
we keep it tucked away s carefully
but you don't really really care

you watched us drift away
as watching us here today
and later watched us play
you took us to a place
a seek and hide type game
no choice but to go bleed
and see what's seen
was all there was to need
the whole was never one thing
the whole was the entire thing
everything we see and cannot see
is the same thing
everything you think you see
it is
just what you see
to me

we feel that we're individual
but we're based on mechanical
images
we feel that we're individual
but we're based on mechanical
images
so afraid of dying
we should die
everybody will remain
because these things will never change
in a world where you show off what you don't know
don't know
separate you from you
mind arrested now outside perspective
innocent and unimportant
detain retain re-educate release
attempt a seeing always in slow motion
it's like a kid summoning the ocean
now a year older wrinkled old
wrinkled old
wrinkled old
your body's just a baggy
all worn out and saggy
your really made out of electricity
please believe me
