The Dead Flag Blues |
The car is on fire, and there's no driver at the wheel |
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides |
And a dark wind blows |
The government is corrupt |
And we're on so many drugs |
With the radio on and the curtains drawn |
We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine |
And the machine is bleeding to death |
The sun has fallen down |
And the billboards are all leering |
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles |
It went like this: |
The buildings tumbled in on themselves |
Mothers clutching babies |
Picked through the rubble |
And pulled out their hair |
The skyline was beautiful on fire |
All twisted metal stretching upwards |
Everything washed in a thin orange haze |
I said, "Kiss me, you're beautiful - |
These are truly the last days" |
You grabbed my hand |
And we fell into it |
Like a daydream |
Or a fever |
We woke up one morning and fell a little further down |
For sure it's the valley of death |
I open up my wallet |
And it's full of blood |
