lyrics

What did my one eye see out the window as I kissed my girl goodnight?
I saw many fires burning
Competing with the moonlight
There were screams
There were police
Stampeding on all their bones
But all the fires lit up the city
Their cover blown

Like every conspiracy suddenly took human form
Every infinite falsity just became one truth reborn
The crescendo of the mob swelling into its own alarm
“We’re living science fiction, baby…Hold onto my arm!!!”

So we ran into the street
Into the stream of the maelstrom
Starting many fires burning
To keep the whole city warned
And I hate this generation
This abortion that was spawned
So we lit up a cop like a Christmas tree on the front lawn

The crackle of the flames sounded like a record playin’
Like the cruel gospel of Hades found us in between the prayin’
I was savin’ all my lovin’ for paranoia’s big reveal
So I kissed her under the sparks
To finally show her something real
