Lyrics

[00:38.00] The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
[00:46.00] And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
[00:53.20] And a dark wind blows
[01:01.34] The government is corrupt
[01:04.86] And we're on so many drugs
[01:06.66] With the radio on and the curtains drawn
[01:14.67] We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
[01:18.84] And the machine is bleeding to death
[01:26.09] The sun has fallen down
[01:29.42] And the billboards are all leering
[01:33.12] And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles
[01:42.53] It went like this:
[01:47.96] The buildings tumbled in on themselves
[01:52.15] Mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble
[01:57.76] And pulled out their hair
[02:08.19] The skyline was beautiful on fire
[02:16.60] All twisted metal stretching upwards
[02:19.94] Everything washed in a thin orange haze
[02:27.65] I said: "kiss me, you're beautiful -
[02:29.42] These are truly the last days"
[02:36.55] You grabbed my hand and we fell into it
[02:42.45] Like a daydream or a fever
[03:07.41]
[06:15.05] We woke up one morning and fell a little further down -
[06:19.38] For sure it's the valley of death
[06:22.32] I open up my wallet
[06:25.27] And it's full of blood
