lyrics

heat lightning flash the air
ignites skies so grey and mauve
save torrid “urban” impaired
you’ve seen cool the beauty knowed

and all trouble aside
gotta love His works left sown
gang, if we all really tried
we’d join the top on our own

from the plains
it’s ok
saccharine cinder
come up with another
cold
hmmm

it’s in the veins
this grenade
your smoldering ember
don’t you remember
the old ways

hey just guarding the pool
eurogenic, holy and clean
“le vous saviez bien sûr”
though afraid of the BBC

and i still am not fooled
by your charmed mid-western warmth
you are unlike your books
like Twelve and I.C.E. when “forced”

we need to lose a war for once
to concede all we won
i hate to say it but the system is working fine
working as designed

if i said that i could
would you know i would not help
and i thought that i should
but i could not make it felt

so trample tin hats you bought
lose your lunch and poison pills
clear solutions not sought
how does your no sympathy feel

ursine hands and batons
reach toward parting cloud and pine
ramparts still limping on
but tempest wake may leave defeated spine

just when it looks it might
you see crepuscular rays
the rest look up at false light
beating down on through storm drains

from the plains
it’s ok
saccharine cinder
come up with another
hmmm

it’s in the veins
this grenade
your smoldering ember
don’t you remember
the old ways

til you’ve felt slain
everyday
though under umbrella
and now just the fellas
come down rain

touch down on grain
i’ll abstain
insert the meta
self-deprecetta
this i’ll feign
