Lyrics
The big scare
that makes folks fill college and jail,
Is perfectly fair,
with its hospital head and coffin nail tail.
You lose...
People go to prison cause it fascinates them.
You choose...
So little when you're pollen in the palm of the wind.
Treat em like a prostitute
Cause all villains A.D.
Make that killing off you.
You invent the alphabet to keep yourself busy,
sick pollen on barbed wire and man hands on fire.
You been MADE,
the globe aglow all safe on your blades.
Or are you crushed to colors under its weight.
Its true...
Like all good complex hydrogen models, you too...
Shall, will, will, shall topple.
To the serpent full of workweeks and banks
To its day width ribs and digesting you lengths.
Treat em like a prostitute
Cause all villains A.D.
Make that killing off you....
"We started work in 2018 on the LEX•XX remix series, and asked BOC if they would get involved. They replied, “we have early versions of the Nevermen tracks that were left aside and never finished”. The prospect of unreleased Boards of Canada remixes was too much. We had to wait months for the final remix to arrive. We loved it. We’ve heard it hundreds of times since then. And now you get to hear it. We hope you like it too."[2]
