Creatures of tinsel and gauze
That's not waving; that is drowning
You have the freedom to be living in a car
Heave away, heave away boys
In a home where we're not real
And when I stand and raise my hand
This can go two ways
With the hammer drawn
Anything but paranoid
If it makes you happy
Slide on the chrome and plastic
Throw away the underclasses
With a third degree in jealousy
Blues and twos because it's Monday
Romance and assassination
Lay me down the long white line
There is no us; there's only them
They were many, we are few
But Genevieve, it's time
Show me stupid on tv
Watched the wonder wander past
Going round and around and around and around
It's just a kiss away
I guess this must be the home of the hitmen
Ich bin hier allein
So still, so dark all over Europe
Another motherfucker in a motorcade
Love for the death and for the defecation
Everything is lost and your trust lies broken
Pink noise, white noise
Take a walk downtown to where the victims go
One more night spent on your mirror
Nine while nine and I'm waiting
So damn cold it's just not true
Make a mess of your conviction
And yes, I believe in what we had
Everybody got a destination
Rationale, rhyme and reason
You reap what you sow
See the wreckage and the damage done
Gimme something fast
For a million empty faces
For a million hollow smiles
Cut a hole between the ground and sky
F**k me and marry me young
It don't help to be one of the chosen
Tunnel vision and the scars to prove it
Into that good night kiss away
I got wrecked out here
Run around in the radiation
Another shade of empty
Lost for stupid again
Set the controls for the heart or the knees
Take a one way ticket to the main attraction
When the water come rushing, rushing in
England fades away in your eyes
Counting the days in the haze around you
I hear the roar of a big machine
This is Babel, sensurround
See a body and a dream of the dead days
Seconds to the drop but it feels like hours
It's just a heartbeat, loud
Forget the many steps to heaven
Here come the marching men
Guns and cars and accidents
Living in films for the sake of Russia
Shake me down again
