Been playing around with this, sort of an obvious subject, one so many of encounter these days ,mainly with our industrialized lifestyles and use of plastic...it could poss need a bit more work , but im done with it for now...got a book fo finish  :)


I ate them  all ,and took my fill
eating to satisfaction ,lying here ,so still
they were grey,they were cold, and   blue
just take a drink ,and swallow two

im eating to satisfaction ,pop another pill
but no sauce for me, in this  fight of wills


carcinogenic, it's not an atom you know
carcinogenic, won't  you take it slow
carcinogenic , i'm beat, but well fed
cos theres a life, you cant live in death
i wish it more, i want it said
now you're closing the only door
the one in my head.


condition red,  tired and tied to my bed
there's a gun on the floor ,but its out of lead
my situation's  clear ,in fact its see thru
diagnosis, down and out ,its bad,  so bad for you
 he said

we've tried it all and it's been such a thrill
but it likes to win, oh it likes to  kill.....

carcinogenic, it's not an atom you know
carcinogenic, won't  you take it slow
carcinogenic , i'm beat, but well fed
cos theres a life, you cant live in death
i wish it more, i want it said
now you're closing the only door
the one in my head.

if the morning feels so cold
just throw the covers over
if im lookin old
take my notes and make a fire
if the values gone
its all been sold

leave me just enough time to play with
how i love your lights and devices
and the shapes of images you take
and the many different sizes

carcinogenic, it's not an atom you know
carcinogenic, won't  you take it slow
carcinogenic , i'm beat, but well fed
cos theres a life, you cant live in death
i wish it more, i want it said
now you're closing the only door
the one in my head.

carcinogenic, it's not an atom you know
carcinogenic, it's not an atom you know
carcinogenic, it's not an atom you know
carcinogenic, won't you take it slow

I liked this - it's a technical sounding hook, but the word carcinogenic has so many dark connotations - maybe it should be the song title too?
Lots of ways to interpret this as well which will widen its appeal.
Would be a good lyric for the dark side contest now in progress.  ;D ;D
