lyrics

Louder they scramble the streets
an audience tramples
to make way for the meat parade
all screaming neatly
some standing cheaply
and the hunks of physics
our invisible critics
rock your minds
they pour it on grapevines
they'll pull you to their side
for the civil war at the end of time

you rose as a statement
to fill the cup
you shot it down and built it up
with your left hand
and a stone brick for a head
a shopkeeper and his dreads
motel maid and her furious shade
they say that god made what we walk
but I think he forgot to walk his talk

and when I look to the wars and the nighttime haunts
I'll take what I've heard with a grain of salt
and the beauty of it
never really did seem to fit
