|
We're not breaking any records yet |
|
I stare at maps all day, a charade in the sunset |
|
I read the news with all its angles bent |
|
And blame my confusion on designs intelligent |
|
Too many things, too many things to keep my mind on |
|
I was rehearsing for the Iliad |
|
A social siege to end the war, yeah |
|
Arrows and bows, aiming everywhere we go |
|
This isn't farmlife |
|
I was sleeping in dunes at night, the southern land |
|
By day I sail on the cannibal sea |
|
I'm breathing in this heavy water, oh |
|
In my kingdom in my stratosphere |
|
My girl hustles words to fools in particular |
|
And from the safety of an overcoat |
|
She wears a wire that runs all the way to Stockholm |
|
Arrows and bows, aiming everywhere we go |
|
This isn't farm life |
|
An eye for an eye, under the microscope a mythic paradise |
|
Another year, another try, on we go, on we go |
