Tom Verlaine - A Future in Noise lyrics

You're a graduate of the Reemco School of Numbness And you walk in here with your fifteen degrees Telling everyone you knew they must be some kind of puppet And how the big mirage it is your specialty Who can believe you? I gotta keep about a mile from you I gotta keep about a mile from you Arm's length that won't do I gotta keep about a mile from you Kindness to strangers, cruelty to your friends ... A new czar in the nothing regime Twenty miles of hallways of burning gla** That's just where that kind of stuff will end Who can believe you? I gotta keep about a mile from you I gotta keep about a mile from you Arm's length that won't do I gotta keep about a mile from you I'm so happy now to see you watering the rocks I suppose it'll bring you a very special yiel What does it feel like to carry that around for oh so long The darkest and the thickest kind of shield No one believes you I gotta keep about a mile from you I gotta keep about a mile from you Arm's length that won't do I gotta keep about a mile from you New czar in the Nothing Regime New czar in the Nothing Regime New czar in the Nothing Regime I gotta keep about a mile from you New czar in the Nothing Regime I gotta keep about a mile from you I gotta keep about a mile from you I gotta keep about a mile from you
