Pictures of a City (Live at the Anthem, Washington DC)

Concrete cold face
Cased in steel
Stark sharp, glass-eyed
Crack and peel
Bright light, scream beam
Brake and squeal
Red, white, green, white
Neon wheel

Dream flesh, love chase
Perfumed skin
Greased hand, teeth hide
Tinseled sin
Spice ice, dance chance
Sickly grin
Pasteboard time slot
Sweat and spit

Blind stick, blind drunk
Cannot see
Mouth dry, tongue-tied
Cannot speak
Concrete dream flesh
Broken shell
Lost soul, lost trace
Lost in hell
