Down in the park
Where the machmen meet
The machines are playing `kill-by-numbers
Down in the park with a friend called `five

I was in a car crash
Or was it the war?
Well, Ive never been quite the same
Little white lies like I was there

Come to zom-zoms, a place to eat
Like it was built in one day
You can watch the humans
Try to run

Oh, look, theres a rape machine
Id go outside if it looks the other way
You wouldnt believe
The things they do

Down in the park
Where the chant is death, death, death
Until the sun cries morning
Down in the park with friends of mine

We are not lovers
We are not romantics
We are here to serve you
A different face but the words never change

now you're just scaring the f**k out of me .... this is like you've reached right inside my head, grabbed a memory & splattered both text & image into digital pixels ...

so many years ago, i'd walk along that very boardwalk in the dark, alone like this (lord knows i wouldn't do that alone these days ) wearing my trusty sony walkman listening to a mixed tape .... which this song was part of .... UnBeleivable

Yikes! That is spooky and very cool too. I was on the part near the bottom of Lee. There were some locals around and it's safer than over on the other side of the pool.

I remember you telling me.
I lived on Lee for a few years in the old Beaches Telephone Building. I like the area now but I like it better then.

Did you know they closed Scratch Daniels late last fall? I loved their homemade fries and the window seat was the best place in the city to have a beer.

damn Mike,
I havn't been getting around to seeing deviations, even with an extended amount of time to myself,
but this holds a peticular amount of atmosphere to it.
What I mean is, I have been picking out deviations here and there, and am always happy I check on yours frequently,
I can't wander around at night here, it's a real downfall to the trip,
there is an alarm set, so I am unable to sneak downstairs, etc...
But I'd like to, everytime I see what you've pulled.
The city, the lamps, the dark seem to be yours.

It super sucks that you can't get out at night. I'd be going out of my mind being locked in like that.

I think everything looks beautiful at night...I know it's like living in a dream.

Love the strong contrast. Excellent night photo. The dark surrounding the pools of light impart the true feeling of night.

Feels very familiar. (Gary Numan makes me cringe though - not because of the man himself but because of the memories.) Like so many times before: great composition!
