Lyrics

Recovering slowly, a torso fell
From a beat up truck by a rural motel
The manager seen how the truck bed bounced
While dust flew up with a rolling sound
Voices appear from the staff outside
In bulbous text in a western style
His mannequin neck spun to turn his face
The bars spills drunks out frame by frame
Girls pushed girls side to side
To hear a suction sound as limbs realign
The crowd just seemed to multiply
They hear his plastic jaw as the news drops hard:
"Your retro career me-me-me-me-melted"
"Your retro career me-me-me-me-melted"
"Your retro career me-me-me-me-melted"
"Your retro career me-me-me-me-melted"
They couldn't have agreed with the mannequin less
They didn't understand what the mannequin meant
The sound of a barreled gun held to the back
Some plastic clicks as the shell parts pass
Flesh tone shards fly by wild
They fill a plastic bag with the parts inside
The bag got dumped, a town nearby
They reassembled fast as his voice dropped hard:
"Your retro career me-me-me-me-melted"
"Your retro career me-me-me-me-melted"
"Your retro career me-me-me-me-melted"
"Your retro career me-me-me-me-melted"
Multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply
Multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply
Multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply
Multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply
"Your retro career me-me-me-me-melted"
"Your retro career me-me-me-me-melted"
"Your retro career me-me-me-me-melted"
"Your retro career me-me-me-me-melted"
Multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply
Multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply
Multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply
Multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply
