Mgmt - Flash Delerium текст песни

Mild apprehension,
blank dreams of the coming fun,
distort the odds of a turnaround,
gut screams out next to none
So turn it on, tune it in
and stay inert...

You say, "I've got the backbone",
the back way to escape the gun
climbing a tree with a missing limb
and not saving anyone
and now it hurts, to stay at home and see...

Flash the mirror ball's throwing mold
you can't get a grip if there's nothing to hold
See the flash, catch a white lilly
laugh and wilt
but if you smash a glass,
first fill it to the hilt.

PLANTS, as far as I know are still,
still bending toward the light
and if we dance until the heart explodes,
it'll make this place ignite
and even if this hall collapses,
I can stand by my pillar of hope it's just,
a case of flash delirium

"Here's a growing culture,
deep inside a corpse
ages stuck together,
taking it to the source,
timeless desperation,
pictures on a screen scream
'HEY PEOPLE, WHAT DOES IT MEAN?'"


Comfort keeps us nice,
so quick to donate everything
(nothing arrives),
die woken drifting blinding smiles circling,
but time's,
tingling spines attaching hands to floor,
the rosy-tinted flash

FLASH
the hot dog's getting cold
and you'll never be as good
as the Rolling Stones
watch the birds in the airport gathering
dirt
crowd the clean magazine chick lifting
up her skirt

"WHY CLOSE ONE EYE AND TRY TO PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE
TO THE SUN, WHEN PLASTIC GHOSTS START TERRORIZING
EVERYONE, GEOMETRIC TROOPS ALIGNING,
CARRIED UP TO THE BURIAL MOUNDS MY EARTHBOUND HEART
IS HEAVY, YOUR HEARTBEAT KEEPS THINGS LIGHT, WITH
VIOLENCE FOREVER THREATENING THE NIGHT"

... but even if this hall collapses I can stand on a pillar of hope and trust, that our heads won't... Bust....
"SIX SIX FIVE FIVE RED BATTLESHIPS,
40 EARTHLIKE PLANETS,
3 HOLES, 2 TITS, 1 FORK IN IT'S SIDE
ZERO TEARS IN THEIR EYES"
