This is the speed I fly
I'm all alone and that you know
The angels walk below me
Slicing metal by remote control
(Slicing metal by remote control)
Wings are sending black smoke
To cover up my eyes
Like a sympathetic strangle
(Like a sympathetic strangle)
But I will never die
But I will never die
Am I here to watch over you?
Am I here to destroy you?
Am I here just to think it matters what I do?
I can never really be
Yet I don't mind if I do
Take the pennies from my eyes
I'm so old that I am new
I'm an indifferent slayer
For sure you should try prayer
That'll keep you occupied
While I do what I decide
I can never really be
Yet I don't mind if I do
Take the pennies from my eyes
Let me kiss the friends I knew
Watch the burning embers
Hands are in the holes
And still they love each other
I can't remember anything!
I can never really be
Yet I don't mind if I do
Take the pennies from my eyes
Let me kiss the friends I knew
There was a little soldier
Hung up in her own mind
See her body flying over
To look for her own kind
I can never really be
Yet I don't mind if I do
Take the pennies from my eyes
I'm so old that I am new
Am I here to watch over you?
Am I here to destroy you?
Am I here just to think it matters what I do?
I can never really be
Yet I don't mind if I do
Take the pennies from my eyes
Let me kiss the friends I knew
