Hot Water Blue lyrics

[spoken]
“Do I strike you as the competitive type?”

[Waters crashing into crags.]

[spoken]
“Gee, hope not.”

[Seagulls.]

[spoken]
“I’m just really into excellence, perfection, and God.”

[Waters crashing into crags.]

[spoken]
“Sorry if that makes me seem competitive.”

[Seagulls.]

[spoken]
“It’s more like—it’s more like when someone’s above you?”

[Something splashing into water.]

[spoken]
“Gee, this can be really tricky to explain to humans.”
[Seagulls.]

[spoken]
“Y.”

[Waters crashing into crags.]

If p does flow through all life’s wonder
We must try to resist
Like the Venus fly-trap might resist hunger
(We must resist to persist)
We must resist to exist for a reason

[spoken]
“My name is Colson? And I’ll be your prophet tonight.”

[Madonna (“Erotica”):]
(I like to put you in a trance…)

P is the flow of pepsi blue
P is the pity we cry for sin
P are the tears we tender
As an underdog wins
P is me, bacteria, and you

P is my inability to take long showers
(P is me, bacteria, and you)
P is my bath in an inch of hot water
(P is me, bacteria, and you)
The p-property steers Christ’s sequel
We must try to exist
Like a praying mantis might resist evil
(We must exist to persist)
We must persist to resist for a reason

P is the conquering of pepsi red
P is the strangeness we feel at the devil’s death
P are the laughs we ardor
As an overman dies
P is me, bacteria, and you

I cry (I cry)
I cry for my powerlessness to turn red blue
I cry (I cry)
I cry for my inability to stop eating food

[spoken]
“The winner in first place isn’t gloating this lucidly for any other reason than to show you something in ‘Mario Kart,’ so you can throw away that blue shell now.”

[Swirling synths.]

[spoken]
“It’s exactly the people who would throw blue shells that my work targets in such an Apocalyptic, last train to Tulsa way.”

[Whooshing storm.]
[spoken (echoing):]
“I’m laughing at. Uh.”

[Sultry bass.]

[spoken (echoing):]
“Obviously not you, since you got blue shells, Pepsi queen!”

Is that all death promised us?
No individuation? (But what about circles?)
What if parallel planes were infinite?
Could we flicker each time?
Metaphorically switch after death to a
“Slightly better” channel?
(Like the one the Second Coming represents?)
Think about it, hot head
“Reason is God, no violence, end slavery”
I’m so sorry you’re so impatient
I’ve tried to model patience
But it’s been a lot
I’m in a bathtub right now
In an inch of hot water
And I’m cold
Because the heat’s not fixed
In my tenement either

And that’s literally true, but whatever
How many (how many)
How many times have you turned red blue?
How many (how many)
How many times has forgiveness won you?

P is for the pause (the pause)
Sought after by the Second Coming of Jesus
P is for the pepsi, pepsqueaks
Sought after by everyone who’s not Jesus

[spoken (echoing, through uncontrolled laughter):]
“Basically I’m just really incredible and I can’t even help it anymore, there’s too much momentum…”

[Echoing synthesizers.]

[spoken (echoing, through uncontrolled laughter):]
“…there’s too much massive momentum behind how amazing I am and you’d have to give me amnesia for me not to realize it every morning…”

[Echoing laughter.]

[spoken (echoing, through near hysterics):]
“…and this was my ego before fame—and everyone knows it…”

[Uproarious laughter.]

[spoken]
Power played a part
In every prophet’s theories
In every wise man’s rule

Power (pow pow)
[Madonna (“Erotica”): “I’d like to put you in a trance…”]
Peace (God is shared power)
[Madonna (“Erotica”): “Will you let yourself go wild?”]

P is the flow of pepsi blue
P is the pity we feel doomed by in love
P are the tears we tender
When our favorites win
P is me, bacteria, and you

P is my inability to take long showers
(P is me, bacteria, and you)
P is my bath in an inch of hot water
(P is me, bacteria, and you)

I ain’t livin’ in no forest, baby boo
That wasn’t how my cultural f*cking upbringing
Was constructed
f*ck you for telling me to go live in a forest
f*ck you for telling me to go live in a forest
f*ck you for telling me to go live in a forest
f*ck you for telling me to go live in a forest

f*ck you for telling me to go live in a forest

[spoken]
“I’m so sorry but if AI can logically mansplain to all of humanity why someone is ‘logically the emergent fulfillment of Christ’s Second Coming prophecy,’ what is even conceptually going to bring him down into not seeing that? He even understands perfectly why; he did it himself!”

[Waters crashing into crags.]

[spoken]
“Anyway, I hope none of this makes me seem competitive.”

[Seagulls.]
