I am a scientist - I seek to understand me All of my impurities and evils yet unknown I am a journalist - I write to you to show you I am an incurable and nothing else behaves like me And I know what's right But I'm losing sight of the clues For which I search and choose to abuse To just unlock my mind Yeah just unlock my mind I am a pharmacist - prescriptions I will fill you Potions pills and medicines to ease your painful lives I am a lost soul, I shoot myself with rock & roll The hole I dig is bottomless but nothing else can set me free And I know what's right But I'm losing sight of the clues For which I search and choose to abuse To just unlock my mind Yeah just unlock my mind I am a scientist - I seek to understand me I am an incurable and nothing else behaves like me Everything is right Everything works out right Everything fades from sight Because that's alright with me

Come up to my lighthouse for I have something I wish to say It can wait for a moment; well in fact / it can wait all day I just wanted to bring you up here so you could have the chance to see the beauty of this situation that / you could share with me It may seem strange / to talk of love and then lighthouses It's not strange / to me All alone / you and I in our high tower That's the way / to be / Hey Some laugh at my lighthouse they say it's just an ivory tower But I don't mind because I know / their envy grows by the hour See I have a purpose up here to guide the ships upon their way All this is mine; it could be yours too / what do you say? It may seem strange / to talk of love and then lighthouses It's not strange / to me All alone / you and I in our high tower That's the way / to be / Hehehey hey.

about

Yeah, uh, I am a scientist. We've gotta live on science alone. Religiously, I'm speaking on the science, 'cause. We've gotta live on science alone.

just a couple of covers i messed around with in between the making of probehead's upcoming second album(!)

"i am a scientist" is originally by guided by voices, and "my lighthouse" is originally by pulp.

yay

see you in the near distance, trusted friends.
