# A PERFECTLY NORMAL DISASTER **LOKIWIZZ** [VERSE 1] There's a rose in the gun rack, dust on the dash, A crack in the sky and a leak in the glass. The weatherman's smiling, says the forecast is clear, While a black hole swallows the billboard next year. I took the long way home by the shortest route, Saw a man in a box trying to talk his way out. He said, "Son, you look familiar." I said, "Funny, that's odd." He looked just like me, but he was dressed like a god. There's a staircase downstairs that goes up to the ground, And a dog with no shadow keeps following me 'round. I asked if he was lost. He said, "Buddy, aren't we all?" Then he walked through the ceiling and I heard something fall. [CHORUS] It's a perfectly normal disaster, Nothing to see, just the end coming faster. The roof's in the basement, the moon's in the sink, Everybody's got answers; nobody stops to think. It's a perfectly normal disaster, Smile for the picture, the world's getting plastered. If the whole thing goes sideways, just follow the signs— They've been pointing in circles for the better part of our lives. [VERSE 2] Met a saint at the station with a devil's grin, Said he'd found salvation but he couldn't get in. Had a pocket full of keys and a head full of smoke, Kept unlocking the door every time that it broke. The neighbors built a temple out of old TV screens, Held a midnight service for the things they'd never seen. One man spoke in tongues, one man spoke in code, One man sold directions to a place nobody knows. I saw seven little shadows where a single man stood, All arguing which one of them was misunderstood. They said, "Pick a side." I said, "What's the difference?" They said, "That's the problem." I said, "Now we're making progress." [CHORUS] It's a perfectly normal disaster, Nothing to see, just the end coming faster. The roof's in the basement, the moon's in the sink, Everybody's got answers; nobody stops to think. It's a perfectly normal disaster, Smile for the picture, the world's getting plastered. If the whole thing goes sideways, just follow the signs— They've been pointing in circles for the better part of our lives. [BRIDGE] I asked the man in the mirror, "Who's responsible for this?" He said, "You are." I said, "I wasn't even here." He said, "That's what you always say." Then the lights went out. I heard a chair scrape. Somebody laughed. I think it was me. [HEAVY BREAK] Black roses, white lies, Blue skies with bloodshot eyes. Good dogs, bad men, Everybody's leaving, then coming back again. Pull the strings, cut the wire, Call it peace while you feed the fire. Nothing's broken if nobody knows— Who planted the garden that eats what it grows? [FINAL CHORUS] It's a perfectly normal disaster, Nothing to see, just the end coming faster. The roof's in the basement, the moon's in the sink, Everybody's got answers; nobody stops to think. It's a perfectly normal disaster, The joke gets old, but the laugh comes after. I came looking for the truth, found a note in my name— It said, "Nothing's really different. You just noticed the game."</WritingBlock
