lyrics

When you kill their sonar in your sleep,
You will find your mouthwash stolen,
Fed to birds as part of a TV show.

Still, polluted waters run deep
Through the time lost in the gutter
Where the echoes bounce with increased speed.

Born dead already and cold.
And to maintain control
We must recover the shock.
Green talks. Amphetamines walk.

When you aim, focus on the water's edge
Cause that's where the whale's head will be
By the time you catch your breath and fire.

Your pink, candescent harpoon
Reflects the light of the moon,
Which hangs aloof in the sky
Dull as a loyal servant's eye.

You draw a line in the ocean deep,
And your contracts always come back cracked
And crooked like the architecture.

For want of better words I'll say
(Stay away from here)
That it's the easiest way.
