You were not the first to arrive |
|
Will not be the last to survive |
|
The pigs and the oxen we bound to the wheel |
|
Turn it off, turn it off |
|
You are not the last of this house |
|
Or the first to go over the side |
|
Remember the wrecks of those elegant ships |
|
Turn it off, turn it off |
|
Look with century eyes, they make you go blind |
|
Galloping into the void |
|
You are rolling your eyes like a horse |
|
All to turn form the beam |
|
From the eye of that screen |
|
Turn it off, turn it off |
|
With our backs to the arch |
|
And the wreck of our kind |
|
We will stare straight ahead |
|
For the rest of our lives |
