lyrics

Oh Desolation

Wells are burning away
in the clandestine nights
cyborgs with a tear in their eye

yeah they're rolling away
it's raining satellites
the violence staged
across the sky

City's on fire
a nice disguise
ash in the sky
that quiet when it snows

bury your cash
and siphon a litre
color your hair and pseudocide
takes a long time for the mind
to decompose

Yeah it's blowing away
the fading summer night
martial law like a wrinkle in time

and they summon their gods
to drop your children
out of helicopters
mass graves to the desert sky

Oh desolation
ain't there no reparations
just those grave desecratin'
oil lines

Oh desolation
ain't there no reparations
just those grave desecratin'
oil lines

Oh Desolation
Oh Desolation
Oh Desolation

Listen to those bullets screaming
skimming off the sand
you'll hear your parents
just ain't who they claim

you'll feel those robot bones
those plastic debutantes
dancing with their
arms around you
dancing with those
arms around you
robot bones
their stiff and creepy forms
smiling with their flags
around them
smiling with their flags on fire

City's on fire
a nice disguise
ash in the sky
that quiet when it snows

bury your cash
and siphon a litre
color your hair and pseudocide
takes a long time for the mind
to decompose

City's on fire
a nice disguise
ash in the sky
that quiet when it snows

bury your cash
and siphon a litre
color your hair and pseudocide
takes a long time for the mind
to decompose
