lyrics

Dark woodland night. A tiny little shiny shimmer glowing, glimmer growing, showing through the trees and leaves no traces. Complicating evidence, giving people pause. Day by day the legend grows. Mysterious, grimly daunting, dimly haunting, flaunting in the forest every evening. Everybody’s wondering what could be the cause.

Floating over the power lines, something shines. Driving yellow and red aberrations through the night. People flocking from everywhere stop and stare, grasping wildly for explanations to be right.

Swamp gas, ghostly souls, UFOs, and antigravity. Theories filled with holes dig an even bigger cavity. Swamp gas, ghostly souls, UFOs, and antigravity. Theories filled with holes dig an even emptier cavity than before.

Don’t assume what it’s all about. Whether you believe, or whether you doubt, go and find out.

People stand, consorting, reporting what it could be. Twisted lips distorting the truth of what they see. Mystics, ignoring statistics to serve and service their logistics, pursuing their viewing while happily grappling and misconstruing.

Miles away: a sprawling line of trawling traffic — linking graphic blinking, winking, with their headlights and their tail lights — innocently, perfectly-pointed photon load. Proven wrong, the people glare. Still pointlessly clinging, crying, stinging, lying, trying to deny the boring answer: ordinary vehicles being on a road.

Swamp gas, ghostly souls, UFOs, and antigravity. Theories filled with holes dig an even bigger cavity. Swamp gas, ghostly souls, UFOs, and antigravity. Theories filled with holes dig an even bigger cavity. Swamp gas, ghostly souls, UFOs, and antigravity. Theories filled with holes dig an even emptier cavity than before.

Don’t assume what it’s all about. Whether you believe, or whether you doubt, go and find out.

about

Bubblemath Minneapolis, Minnesota

Condensing out from the icy mists of Minneapolis, Minnesota, the first official incarnation of Bubblemath took shape in 1995. But the winds of circumstance were hard on poor, innocent Bubblemath, and the band found itself shaped and re-shaped, again and again, until the current and definitive lineup achieved full realization in October of 1998. ... more
