350 : 3/26/99 : Pandemonium

Hah hey now get ready for the big pandemonium
It comes down like the supersonic platinum plutonium
Not tonight my darling there’s a serpent in my chest
I figured out the rhythm you go figure out the rest

349 : 3/25/99 : Ready or Rot

1,259 : 0 ?


Ready or not here it comes
The future with the flashing lights and rolling drums
Like it or not it’s here to stay
Cause time won’t ever go back even just one day
Ready or Rot it’s all the same
Dragged by fortune by any other name
It smells of mystery and sweet misfortune
As each day dishes up its daily portion
Always talking of an abstract future
Never noticing the here and now
And a the center of it all a clumsy suture
binds the earthly spirit who knows how
Ready set go here we are again
Somebody stop me because I’m inclined to pull the pin
And throw my lot in with the doomswatch set
It seems to be the best odds I can get

348 : 3/24/99 : The Mystery of the Chart

1,252 : 48 ?


In those days they believed
there was a map to the center of the earth
And down there in a chamber
The answers to all secrets were given berth
Some saw the chart as a token
of all man had lost in his rush to know
Some believed that the mystery of the chart
was paradoxically hidden down below
Some claimed that they had fragments
secured from sepulchers of holy knights
some claimed the chart was plain to see
bound up in the glory of earthly delights
The mystery of the chart is
no one ever claimed to have seen it
Everyone believed it had existed at least once upon a time
The lines the chart and what was read between it
