Methods Of Survival Lyrics - Atrox

At times I'm so preoccupied running 

I forget paying attention to where I'm going 

At times I'm so busy reaching ecstacy 

I forget paying attention to all other needs 

We've all got our methods of survival 

These are mine 

Shoo away the annoying dandelion seeds 

Chase a katzenjammer violin up a tree 

Startle the birds so they take off 

With the entire lake in their feathers 

At times I'm so busy avoiding trouble 

I forget paying attention to what I miss out on 

These everchanging methods of survival 

I may be too deep into the darkside 

But I know we need to be a bit naive as well 

One thing though - how to regain naivete 

When already cynical? 

Have some bittersweets 

They're good for you 

Please help yourself to some bittersweets and light refreshments 

Paper aeroplanes crash into bottles spilling wine 

On flies hanging around washing their hands 

Maud lin flies reel all over the table when suddenly 

A turreen of soup tips over as the cloth woos 

and stretches for the sheets on the clothes line 

I need my escapism 

I'll hold on to it till I learn new methods of survival 

Somehow somehere sometime it will all be good
