BECK

BECK - The Horrible Fanfare/Landslide/Exoskeleton lyrics

rate me

Ashes of ancients

The nations repainted

The chain gang chatelaine

Changing the station

The theme song playing

The anthem of normal

The horrible fanfare

The horns get distorted

On a public announcement

The towns are impounded

Where order resounded

Cowards towered around it

Power line buzzards

Surveilling the night

Talons in flight

The fake horizons ignite

Banality lives where hysteria kills

Civilian jungles with malaria pills

Animals bleed to buy a star from the night

Avenue kids wear a scar like a stripe

Send up a signal to the heavenly rescue

When the poison's coming from the person you're next to

Let the voltage of thought pull the plug from the wound

Cos if the soul is a symptom the condition is you

---

We know its a letterbomb hand me down

This thought is a perjury blindfold

When she crawls from the himalayan highway rain

With her birds of prey and her weapons on the fire

She's riding a land slide down to me

She's cutting the shackles off of me

She's shaking the dead birds from the trees

She's takin the only air I breathe

Iron lungs and a plate glass sermon

Don't call it death on the installment plan

She pulling the armor from my back

And raking the coals over the tracks

And taking the knife out from the stack

She's bringing the blood that I had back

She's coming to see its all a sin

Coming to see the sun again

Coming to wash it off again

Coming to see her self again
