A heart of stone, a smoking gun
I can give you life, I can take it away

A heart of stone, a smoking gun
I'm working it out
Why'd you feel so underrated?
Why'd you feel so negated?

Turning away from the light
Becoming adult
Turning into my soul
I wanted to bite not destroy
To feel her underneath
Turning into the light

She don't think straight
No, no, no,
She don't think straight
She's got such a dirty mind and it
never ever stops
And you don't taste like her and you
never ever will
And we don't read the papers, we
don't read the news
Heaven's never enough, we will
never be fooled

Turning away from the light
Becoming adult
Turning into my soul
I wanted to bite not destroy
To feel her underneath
Turning into the light

And if you feel a little left behind
We will wait for you on the other
side

And if you feel a little left behind
We will wait for you on the other
side

I'm on fire
Cos you know I'm on fire when you
come
Cos you know I'm on fire
Cos you know I'm on fire so stub me
out

Cos I'm on fire, cos I'm on fire
Cos I'm on fire, cos I'm on fire

I rely on (bitter cold)
I depend on (artic snow)
A pair of trainers (I've got mine)
Could make a God of the two of us (I
want yours)

I exist on (apropos)
I insist on (arctic snow)
A change of clothing (will fill the void)
Could lift us into fidelity (will suck you
in)

The sound keeps you hemmed to the
past
The walls are coming in again
The streets grid alone from the door
You gotta spin the fucking treadle...

I rely on (bitter cold)
I depend on (arctic snow)
The manmade fibres (I've got mine)
That are the stuff of my birthright (I
want yours)

I decide on (apropos)
I retreat from (arctic snow)
The dregs of discourse (will fill the
void)
For a new world order (will suck you
in)

The sound keeps you hemmed to the
past
The walls are coming in again
The streets grid alone from the door
You gotta spin the fucking treadle...
In a pile of days between no oceans
All the kids are rioting
There's no art in a broken head
All the kids are staying fat

And I'm air-kissing, back-slapping
Check the body for valuables
It's called progress
Come on pilgrim sing to the pyres
It's called progress
If they want to kill themselves
Then buy them the gowns
It's called progress

Progress

She's hearing voices call her
She's hearing voices warn her
She just can't sleep in her bed
She just can't sleep
She's falling down the stairs
She's tearing out her hair
She's screaming my name, in the
night
To keep her warm

She got a red pill blue pill
Red pill blue pill
Red pill blue pill
Red pill blue pill
Milk of amnesia

She's scared of the blacks
And she's scared of the Jews
She is walking around
She is yesterday's news
And she screams out my name
In the dead of the night
She is leaving my room
She is crying on her side
Walking on eggshells
Walking on glass
Burnt by the mirror
Burnt by the light
Feeling rejection I'll burn down your
house
Tearing down posters
I was never alive

Attention
Unbelievers
Fashion victims
Opportunists
Blood sport
Cop killer
Don't trust art
Don't trust culture

Cancel your thoughts out forever
Milk it and strain it to residue
An insult that dilates forever
Passing from history that's made
from arrangements
Of tannoys and cordons in symmetry
That cancel forever

Forever

Spring breaks in ranks and in
boulevards
A country that grows us
But cannot contain us

A curse on your houses
Rivers run with your sons' blood
No case for extenuation
All the marshals are dead

Feeding the five thousand was not
done with prayers alone
It takes blood and guts and it takes
devotion
So tired of standing up and so tired
of drawing breath
It's your turn to take the map and
it's your turn to drop the soap

Pretty pretty boys sucking on a cola
Money to burn, money to burn,
money to burn
We got rules to protect us
Isaac and Ishmael
The magazine says it's okay
Life as a billboard

If you are the answer
We are going straight hell

Grown in a parental fugue
Weight loss in self respect
Bomb, bomb, bomb us back together
A new way into a lost answer

A heart of stone, a smoking gun
I can give you life, I can take it away

A heart of stone, a smoking gun
I'm working it out
Why'd you feel so underrated?
Why'd you feel so negated?

Turning away from the light
Becoming adult
Turning into my soul
I wanted to bite not destroy
To feel her underneath
Turning into the light

She don't think straight
No, no, no,
She don't think straight
She's got such a dirty mind and it
never ever stops
And you don't taste like her and you
never ever will
And we don't read the papers, we
don't read the news
Heaven's never enough, we will
never be fooled

Turning away from the light
Becoming adult
Turning into my soul
I wanted to bite not destroy
To feel her underneath
Turning into the light

And if you feel a little left behind
We will wait for you on the other
side

And if you feel a little left behind
We will wait for you on the other
side

I'm on fire
Cos you know I'm on fire when you
come
Cos you know I'm on fire
Cos you know I'm on fire so stub me
out

Cos I'm on fire, cos I'm on fire
Cos I'm on fire, cos I'm on fire
