How long have you lived in a dead end town
Where there's nothing around you
But an empty garage full of nothing to do
It was fun to have a few friends over

And maybe they'll bring some friends
It'll be the time when your family leaves
Maybe they'll leave for good

It blurred the lines between a CD-ROM and reality
But it was clear who was taking over the world
It wasn't going to be me

And all the forbidden thoughts
Came rushing out as one long night
The wind moaned through the broken window
I couldn't see where it was coming from

And then I'm stuck in a room
The Sex Pistols began to play
It was terribly lame in a predictable way

Someone plugged up the tub
And the black crud started to come alive
Somebody shook my hand and they went at it again

A monkey shot in the mouth, I changed the view on the lens
I watched them do it again, and it was two against one
And one by one, my family came home

I tried to stall them and keep them away
From the place where all of this happened
I needed time to clean it all up
And I ran for the armory

I said he works for the man who tried to conquer the world
I felt bad that I said he used to be an acquaintance
And everyone stood there and laughed at him
I turned and ran away

The dog was dragging me up the stairs
Around the fallen doors and garbage
And broke away off the leash
I couldn't keep up

And then I got to the top, the dog was three steps away
The second step was missing
And I said stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop
But it was way too late
