Your strange fascination with the obvious Makes you as startling as a window Your keen sense of being oblivious Shows that you've nothing to hide From what I became to what I'll become To what I once was having seen some I went over the salt that's combined between us From up there all you see is clouds That might be bad Nothing like bliss After the aging's done, wonder how much I'd miss To live beyond the ever lessening mercies of others The shoulders that look our way they scream out try solitude The piss who*es in the newsroom Got a knack for starting fires
They'll cut out your heart with a chainsaw And sh** it out over the wires That might be bad Nothing like bliss After the aging's done wonder how much I'd miss To live beyond the ever lessening mercies of others The shoulders that look our way they scream out try solitude When the helping hands reach out and take hold of the pillow that smothers Heaven help us all who understand Shiny's making it good - every promise made Shiny's making it good - with the lives he saved I don't want to be here when it goes down When it all goes down When it all goes down
