Napalm |
It’s a quixotic quest on a hot summer’s night |
I got a fistful of fireworks |
I’m gonna try and set things right |
I lost my inhibitions |
I think I may have lost my wallet too |
This dying land of plenty |
There’s a whole lot of nothing to do |
Oh, I’m Billy Pilgrim you’re a Dresden doll |
They carpet bomb the city |
Thank God they spared the mall |
Let’s hold a vigil |
For the kinda, sorta innocent |
I guess I should defend your virtue |
But the truth is I’m still on the fence |
And old Heinrich Himmler, he never broke the law |
Well, technically speaking as Sam Peckinpah |
Sometimes you need a vigilante if you want to get a just thing done |
And I don’t want to kill nobody |
Whose only crime is worshiping the sun |
Breakfast of napalm |
Burn down the place where I belong |
Arch rivals make love |
And they gotta keep it secret |
They still do it with the lights on |
And I got bad nostalgia for what came before |
Sad reenactments of a civil war |
My heartache is obsessive |
I just wish that I could let it go |
But there’s a mountain down in Georgia |
With a kickass laser light show |
And I can always convice you you’re just like Patty Hearst |
Or you’re sympathetic, baby, when I’m at my worst |
I don’t want to brainwash you |
I just wish that you would change your tune |
'Cause I’ve been gunning for redemption |
And I think I’ll hit the bullseye soon |
Chartreuse and menthols |
Burn down the town that we were from |
I lost my true love to a three-alarm fire |
They tried to put out with a squirt gun |
Sing little child like a Nightingale |
Sing little child, send me anthrax through the mail |
I wanna to know you, I wanna know if you are true |
Because the closer I get to you is the further that I feel from you |
Breakfast of napalm |
Burn down the place where we belong |
Arch rivals make love |
And they gotta keep the secret |
They gotta keep it secret |
They gotta keep it secret |
They still do it with the lights on |
