Atomic Clock
Monster Magnet Lyrics

The moon crashed into the desert
I found myself in a new, desolate place after a major, celestial event

It gave me my brand new home
The disaster that brought me here also created a new beginning for me

These souls gone to feed in my crater
The people who die or suffer in this place become my resources and sustenance

I eat 'em as fast as they come
I consume everything without discrimination or mercy

I dig your love and affection
I appreciate the positive feelings you express towards me

I dig your voice on the phone
I enjoy the sound of your communication with me, even if it's artificial

So pour some coins in my crater
Give me what you have in exchange for something from me

I spend 'em as fast as they come
I don't care about saving or accumulating, I just want to use and enjoy

A greased up atomic pavilion
A high-tech, futuristic place that is also unstable and dangerous

A great way to swallow my time
I can waste and lose myself in this place quickly and easily

But I do think I need a stronger witness
I want someone else to see me and acknowledge my actions, even if they can't understand or help me

To watch me blow my mind
To observe me lose control, have fun, or suffer in extreme ways

You ain't digging on my questions
You're not interested in my curiosity, doubts, or challenges

And I know I ain't digging on your lies
I don't trust or believe in what you tell me, consciously or unconsciously

Keep on selling me my future
Continue to promise and offer me things that may or may not happen or be good for me

And I'll keep on wearing my disguise
I'll keep pretending or adapting to fit in, even if it means losing my true identity or values

Bullshit may last forever
False or empty ideas or promises might continue to exist and influence people indefinitely

But my fuse gets shorter every day
I'm running out of patience, tolerance, or resilience to deal with them or myself

I'd be glad to take your money
I don't care about your wealth, but I could accept it as a way of manipulating or testing you

But gladder to burn it all away
I'm more interested in spending or destroying the money than in saving or investing it

So won't you put my dick in plastic
I'm willing to be objectified or subjected to extreme conditions or experiments, if that's what you desire

And put my brain in a jar
I'm curious or scared about what could happen if my mind or consciousness was isolated or preserved

If there's something left of my spirit
If there's a part of me that survives or persists after my body or mind is gone

It'll find you where you are
It may haunt or inspire you, or influence your destiny or legacy

Still so goddamn hungry
I'm still craving more, after all this time and consumption

I'm feeding off my own bones
I'm sacrificing myself, my values, or my resources to sustain my appetite or addiction

So lay me out in my crater
Let me rest or die in the place where I belong or feel comfortable

And nuke me 'til I glow
Destroy me or expose me to the most extreme, violent, or transformative force available
