"SHAPE CHANGE" (lyric rough draft inspired by Wizard Master)
----------------------
VERSES1
-
I'm not a real big fan of adaptability
but whenever the structure gets too bulky
we must either undo anything inevitably
or have too many characteristics of the status quo
-
you can count the flywheel as part of your anatomy
but we cannot match the all the spectra exactly
and this method is more than a little bit arbitrary
so we must decentralize before we can grow
----------------
CHORUS1
-
if we try to constructively describe the wave
every independent variable gets in the way
which hints at some other kind of morphology
that has been pushed well out of the frame
-
if analysis determines that it is concave
with so many developments in massive decay
we'll define it by means of hyperbolic geometry
before we bring each thing forward by name
-----------------
VERSES2
-
a tiny perfect ball keeps spinning imperceptibly
until being molded into a new shape abruptly
still we must resist it at least quite noticably
and there's a further decrease to undergo
-
we could have left it to spin in an ovoid for eternity
if one takes account of each thing distinctly
it should be possible to wander meaningfully
in an ellipsoid expanding like hot pretzel dough
--------------
CHORUS2
-
if we try to constructively describe the wave
every independent variable gets in the way
which hints at some other kind of morphology
that has been pushed well out of the frame
-
if analysis determines that it is concave
with so many developments in massive decay
we'll define it by means of hyperbolic geometry
before we bring each thing forward by name
-------------
BRIDGE
-
this is the most undramatic way we can prepare
but there are formalities we needed to set square
------------
CHORUS3
-
if we try to constructively describe the wave
every independent variable gets in the way
which hints at some other kind of morphology
that has been pushed well out of the frame
-
if analysis determines that it is concave
with so many developments in massive decay
we'll define it by means of hyperbolic geometry
before we bring each thing forward by name

"SHAPE CHANGE" ALTERNATE (second lyric draft inspired by Wizard Master)
------------------
VERSES1
-
each assigned liaison carries a binder
and a fruitcake as a formal greeting
plus nine tiny pies with oddly colorful bacon
paid for with unchangeable money
-
in a wheat colored mandarin collar
you could make your livlihood by baking
or preparing a spiral ham for a luncheon
dressed in a dreamlike purple paisley
----------------
CHORUS1
-
here's rare arcanum in a common package
disguised by the cheapest pulp dust cover
the endless banter inside is evocative
of a dead knight templar served on rye
-
his secret heraldry included a cabbage
brass shackled to an insurance adjuster
inside his closet was reasonably secretive
he was quite as surreptitious as a spy
--------------
VERSES2
-
as you strip away pleasantries layer after layer
your moral framework shows through your packing
there's no place left to stash your recognition
that you've never curled up with someone dreamy
-
let's hide you instead inside a different wrapper
as you're spiraling out of your flimsy social wrapping
that last backslap made you cluck like a chicken
in all this false politeness to which we were privy
-------------
CHORUS2
-
here's rare arcanum in a common package
disguised by the cheapest pulp dust cover
the endless banter inside is evocative
of a dead knight templar served on rye
-
his secret heraldry included a cabbage
brass shackled to an insurance adjuster
inside his closet was reasonably secretive
he was quite as surreptitious as a spy
--------------
BRIDGE
-
among all these twisted acts of secrecy
your every private dance is dizzying
-
it still remains a very dazzling mystery
why even the way you wink is breathtaking
-------------
CHORUS3
-
here's rare arcanum in a common package
disguised by the cheapest pulp dust cover
the endless banter inside is evocative
of a dead knight templar served on rye
-
his secret heraldry included a cabbage
brass shackled to an insurance adjuster
inside his closet was reasonably secretive
he was quite as surreptitious as a spy
