RED OUT

My head's pounding hard, waves of spring, choking on tetanus.
I see a shining dream, but wake up to realize it’s a nightmare.
How many, everything will eventually decay,
The first take burnt to a crisp.
A snake starts laughing, turned to bone.
How many, the high price of people's prayers,
A boy trampled, crying out.
A president sings with a filthy face.

Get the hell out, get out, get out, get out,
Get out, get out, get out, get out.

Fresh blood glimmers, bouncing on Steinway & Sons.
The shattered backbeat won’t stop ringing in my head.
Scenes fade in zero commerce,
What’s wrong? It’s not hell, don’t look at me like that.

My reflection on the screen, a mistletoe branch stabbing my back.
I keep dreaming the same dream, even when I wake up, it’s still a dream.
How many, the refrain moves my body,
The MacGuffin I’ve lost track of.
The cold glitter at the corners of my eyes sparkles,
How many, the demagogue blows smoke on purpose,
A boy trembling with rage,
The groin pain increasing day by day.

Get the hell out, get out, get out, get out,
Get out, get out, get out, get out.

Fresh blood glimmers, bouncing on Steinway & Sons.
Can’t stop, go as far as I can, my vision’s red out.
Scenes fade in zero commerce,
What’s wrong? It’s not hell, don’t look at me like that.
Open your pain receptors, now run with all your might,
With all my feelings, just eight bars to the fanfare.
Tear through the flickering, now gouge out my heart,
What’s wrong? It’s not the devil, don’t look at me like that.
