Deco tower, rainbow fountain showers
Crystal columns, silver tabloid entry
The celebrity cemetery
A faded trail of a golden age
that flickered out into celluloid ashes
phantasms fantastic
Outran the avalanche
Outran the avalanche
Outran the avalanche
To the cameras rolling
We beat the drum slowly
The family j**els, the swimming pool
yards marked by emerald coffins
we heard crimes often and softly
a mystery mist, new systems shift
things recognized from television channels
nostalgia signals, unscrambled.
Outran the avalanche
Outran the avalanche
Outran the avalanche
To the cameras rolling
