Listening To the Wise

the doll is broken
wounded by a hostile butterfly
for an award of doing whats right
these tango shoes kill disco
the warrior of how to save yourself
More capable of logical intelligence than the rest of mankind
rolling home to this helter skelter
do you know the enemy asks the innocent bystander
Mobscene asked to think for someone else
how does it feel to know i am the iron man
disarming the garbage of growing up
die again tomorrow
from the personal jesus warning you of the water
better of two evils a celebration
bodies falling down
lost their breathe
comfortably numb from the beauty of a dollar
the game of cocaine
leaves me paranoid
forgotten
this angel with scabbed wings
teaching cowboy dan
survivalism
blood brothers are true blue

a family portrait
of a time when everyone was numb
eulogy of the american psycho
is my drug of choice
where is my head at
ticking like a time bomb
this beautiful nightmare
hit me one more time

Greedy fly i think its time
out of control
zombies poisoned rationality
a voodoo of the spell i put on you
that i wont speak of a world wide suicide
