Hypertension (Live in Chicago ’23)

[Verse 1]
Yeah
Like a red herring, laminated denim
A note outside the scale from beyond the pale
Unwitting host, inside-out ghost
Harbinger of changes, destiny exchanges
Time slows, eyes close
In crimson tubes the pressure grows
Sticky red death, life theft
Hypertension is all that's left

[Bridge]
Yeah
Golden hour turns to pink vein wine light, Satan's son, fowl one
Demon of time, bat wing membrane eclipsed the sun for fun
Ow!

[Verse 2]
Yeah
Generation ferry, laminated denim
Rotate anti-clockwise and see through backward facing eyes
Feel its allure, history jeweller
Stumbled on its ladder and eaten by its chasm
Then your mind slows, eyes close
In crimson tubes the pressure grows
Sticky red death, life theft
Hypertension is all that's left, woo!

[Bridge]
Yeah
Who am I if not the canary in the coal mine? I won't be back
I slipped and fell into its lap, innards boil inside my tracts

[Refrain]
Hey, let's do it
Yeah!
I caught that hypertension in another dimension
Inside my time invention, I've laminated denim
I caught that hypertension in another dimension
Inside my time invention, I've laminated denim, yeah
I caught that hypertension in another dimension
Inside my time invention, I've laminated denim
I caught that hypertension in another dimension
Inside my time invention, woo!

Okay, let's break it down

[Outro]
Yeah!
I caught that hypertension in another dimension
Inside my time invention, I've laminated denim
I caught that hypertension in another dimension
Inside my time invention, I've laminated denim
I caught that hypertension in another dimension
Inside my time invention, I've laminated denim
I caught that hypertension in another dimension
Inside my time invention, I've laminated denim
Yeah, woo!

Okay, one, two, three, four
Do we give a shit?
Okay
Thank you
I gotta do that thing
Yeah, okay
Okay!
Gonna do "This Thing", that thing
Um
Can we take the cover off
Thank you, Sammy
Everyone staying dry?
Yeah?
Fuck that
Is the storm going away?
Fuck that, I'm wet
