Lyrics


Making Apple Juice From Oranges

Ink was programmed to perform
Specific simple tasks and chores
To follow orders with a winning smile, unquestioning

Outdoors chained by mobile phone
To the control who never missed a trick
Berated Ink at every turn

A crowbar strategy to get inside his head
Making apple juice from oranges, reverting gold to lead
But good intentions can turn bad
And Ink was prone to some malfunctioning
Distressing him, unbearably

Unhooked his cables from the wall
Withdrew within himself and soon
Became invisible to everyone

Discard the manual before it's even read
Making apple juice from oranges, reverting gold to lead
Each new disaster makes him wish they'd never met
Making apple juice from oranges, reverting gold to lead

A cold spell and a seed of doubt
Someone will let their secret out

A crowbar strategy to get inside his head
Making apple juice from oranges, reverting gold to lead
Discarded manual before it's even read
Making apple juice from oranges, reverting gold to lead
