lyrics

I don't need any of your parlor tricks
Wrapped around velvet hands
And stretched out across the carpet
A man-made paradise that glimmers in the light of timid perfection
Some kind of misdirection
You, like someone I've seen before
A vision in black
And nothing more
You think you have it all
But you don't

Far more, the Angel's Flight will fall
When these ties and tracks are torn apart
One more safety valve on a saner, more lifelike pace
One more part of our heritage, will be sold for scrap
Throughout this city, this nation
In the impatient world of the new
There is little room
For the old

And every day I wake up silent
And go to bed insane
I feel like I'm getting close
To a breakthrough

Honestly, how much of pleasure is simply relief?
And how much of our interactions
Consist of me trying, and desperately lying
To keep you interested
Against better judgment

Oh toxic confectionary
How you call me so stationary
I wait for a signal, or a sign
That you're mine
But you're not

And when I look at you
God, when I look at you
Acting like I have nothing to lose
