iggy pop and trisha brown. reset. reset and take a factory
take the terminal of your factory if you think it's all that.
that from the sped-up line and train and dancers take and let
some montage of the alameda corridor blow up in toys cold
storage cans window glass car roll like a film of capital
we finally got the news. we got the secret got object
shines take swing out that far and break the line you hold
hold like you hold the whole world in your hand all
that curved up music right when you both play and hold
the whole film and everybody hold that car you drive
we make the line dance and we design the set. we line
the dance up outside and irruption of plane plain song
blew the unit up to every level of association blew up cans
and toys and plate glass and paint the house for after all
brush and stroke cold storage signature vanish edge hell yeah
