lyrics

one working isolator
one piston out of 8
one pump to fracture
one to isolate ya

would you like to go outside
in the cold looking in
would you like to be OK
just press start to begin

boom dipper stick

doomer in what's left of the wood
holy mountain you never should
remove the layers one by one
for an ounce of gold look at the sun

got a message you've been left behind
a whiff of atoms no one will find
eyeless babies forever climb
you are running outa time

one working isolator...

the land cracks
under the sun
insects hum
a dragonfly
climbs,
larvae
like an alien

burned
heather
cracks
under foot
like charcoal

the sun is too hot
until it rains
and the rain will wash the land away

one working isolator...

Lyrics by Richard Knutson & Marian Sutton 2012
