Lyrics
Everybody quit
Six-wired bird in a courtship
dances alone on a warship
everybody split
horse to the ballpit
can lead the way/can’t force it
everybody's shit
thrown in the sifter
(snake oil sale from the grifter)
now,
did you ever get the feeling like you’re dancing on the edge of a cliff
like you’re dancing on the edge of a cliff
come on
Everybody say cheese!(cheese!)
*click* and you frame that phase
just so the kids can see
how the meteors blazed when you used to be
so brazen as to flee
then the cops said freeze!(Freeze!)
and you quit your low down ways
and the clocks laid waste those days
when you used to get the feeling you were dancing on the edge of a cliff
like you’re dancing on the edge of a cliff
come on
Is it over now?
Or has it just begun?
Though the wise men know that dark is right
it is time to fight the only fight
iridescent plumage at the dawn
all the gods are waiting to delight
And some just fell
searching a heaven in a chemical hell
chasing a rabbit in a changing/champagne pelt
running out of racks so they're running to the shelves
focus pure as a crystal,
well,
all of the frames that they held so close
lost in the claims of a drunken boast
kids on the cliff of a bygone coast
now only wind there whistles
(or is that the sound of falling missiles?)
This place is not for dancing
its where they build their walls
I hesitate,
I start to calculate my chances
And then I notice I could fall…
But it is over now?
or will I heed the call?
Though the wise men know that dark is right
it is time to fight the only fight
iridescent plumage at the dawn
all the gods are waiting to delight
