lyrics

I need my hush-hush fix how romantic
You looked at me like friends do when they share some secret from the crowd

But it doesn’t draw them close and it’s not something you could know by asking

I looked back didn’t turn into salt didn’t see the fires engulf
Just flashing lights and cannibal
The decadence carnival

Phone booth confessionals where is the priest
He’s workin the suicide lines
Nine to five

But when the sky darkens up the day and the flowers have all been thrown away
When nobody knows your name and nothing really feels the same
Listen to me baby this tune will change

Skyscrapers like Egyptian pyramids
Will they be perplexed by them will they find dead executives
Clutching their briefcases
Pharaohs of market sales and tall tales

Land is land and hands are hands
Pitchfork pawns and dead presidents are still running these governments
I anticipate an end
Yes by and by they’ll crumble like they’ve always done
There’ll be nowhere to run.

But when the sky darkens up the day and the flowers have all been thrown away
When nobody knows your name and nothing really feels the same
Listen to me baby this tune will change

But when the day is done darlin
I’ll put on a just for you grin, and caress the crease of your chin
And take this moment in
