Lyrics

The Horrible Fanfare
 Ashes of ancients
 The nations repainted
 The chain gang chatelaine
 Changing the station
 The theme song playing
 The anthem of normal
 The horrible fanfare
 The horns get distorted
 On a public annoucement
 The towns are impounded
 Where the order resounded
 Cowards towered around it
 Powerline buzzards
 Surveilling the night
 Talons in flight
 The fake horizons ignite
 Banality lives
 Where hysteria kills
 Civilian jungles
 With malaria pills
 Animals bleed
 To buy a star from the night
 Avenue kids
 Wear a scar like a stripe
 Send up a signal
 To the heavenly rescue
 When the poison's coming
 From the person you're next to
 Let the voltage of thought
 Pull the plug from the wound
 'Cause if the soul is a sympton
 The condition is you
 ?
 ?
 ?
 Landslide
 We know it's a letter bomb hand-me-down
 This thought is a perjury blindfold
 When she crawls from the Himalayan rain
 Where the birds of prey and weapons on fire
 She's ridin' a landslide down to me
 Cuttin' the shackles off of me
 Shakin' the dead birds from the trees
 She's takin' the only air I breathe
 Iron lungs and a plate glass sermon
 Don't call it death on the installment plan
 She's pulling the armour on my back
 Waving the coals over the tracks
 Taking the knife out from the stack
 She's bringing the blood that I have back
 She's coming to see it's all a sin
 Coming to see the sun again
 Coming to wash it off again
 Coming to see herself again
 Coming to see herself again
 Coming to wash it off again
 Exoskeleton
