The car is on fire
There's no driver at the wheel
The sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows
The government is corrupt
And we're all so many drunks 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 toppled 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 are 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
