Lyrics for The Frontier Index

Of all of the people I knew I always looked up to you And after millions of years of crime The sun still shines and shines Look, a horse, of course Gallops through the desert light I make such good time through sub-space When I dream all day and write all night Robot walks into a bar Orders a drink, lays down a bill Bartender says, hey, we don't serve robots And the robot says, oh, but someday you will Prison's a good time for some Many people get caught with a gun This trucker says it's good to be free Says he knows lots of folks who agree Bumper stickers talk to him Say, let the stars get in your eyes Time, cum, sand, and surf These are the building, building blocks of life Boy wants a car from his dad Dad says, first, you got to cut that hair Boy says, hey, Dad, Jesus had long hair And Dad says, that's right, son, Jesus walked everywhere When I was younger, I was a cobra In every case, I wanted to be cool Now that I'm older and sub-space is colder Just wanna say something true
