Based on the novel "The Crying of Lot 49" by Thomas Pynchon (1965)
(Psycho, Logic, All This Is)
lyrics
I'm called Joachim de Tristero
Perhaps a madman, perhaps a honest hero
I fashionned a livery of black symbolizing
The night, the night, the exile
And I styled myself El Descheredado, The Dishenerited
This secund America, reflecting poverty
Undergroud world, intellectual dead-end
I'll give a sacred dimension to your existence
Latent content of loneliness can't compete in its base
Has your walk into the sea something to do with it?
The Whitechapel Edition is hardly to be trusted
That version is corrupt, some kind of virus entered it
True paranoia or real Tristero
In the twilight hours, all is ringing like an hoax
Get along with me
Psychological disease
Another tragedy
And if someday you reckon me
Time will lose its basic meaning
Endless pursuit of happiness, & W.A.S.T.E. & D.E.A.T.H.
Retinal persistence, shining the darkness
Alone in your head, still under rapid eye movement
Trying in vain to contain the madness of your brain
I can't fill the whole since you got cold
Pain, treshold, no one to hear your desperate calls
Get along with me
Psychological disease
Another tragedy
And if someday you reckon me
Time will lose its basic meaning
You will wake, muted late at night
Intruder of, intruder of your own mind
