angels in blue dresses
dance on all our might-have-beens
telling lies and giving prizes
wrapping ribbons round our scene
california highrise
wrecking lives on high-def screens
venting our frustrations
over glossy magazines
glisten in the tarmac
bits and shards in backs of cars
pretty splinters cutting fingers
as we linger in the park
demons in our tongues
will your saliva out-survive you
all the words we try to form
while we're connecting in the dark
please pa** back your paper
we'll consider while we rape you
in the strobing light
the children fight
a**essed by our behaviour
pushing at your limit
can I tie you to specifics?
if my genotype won't cla**ify
you've gotta try to k** it
energy is nothing
kick the zeroes ‘cos they're bluffing
and we are running out of re-cyc
trust our lady of the fire
all the knives are in my chest
my crashing plane is when I'm best
there is a full negation
I am not, I am the liar
I'll hide from the sun for you
I'll put away this gun for you
there is no thing I would not do
no thing to make you smile
high on lies and consequence
I'm losing time in self-defence
the seconds coalesce
into the hours of desire
fall into the future
am I used or did I use you?
are we needy, are we greedy?
did we build our own decline?
both remain at zero
k** your hate, I'll k** your hero
feel it slip, another grip
another life, another time
