We beg we steal and pray
Hallucinate
'Neath your marbled columns
With hearts that are made to bleed
The trick's to need 'em
But never want 'em
Our minds and backs grew soft
So you paid us off
With the shadow promise
That we could be like you
If our aim was true
And your boots got polished
We emerge from the forests we burn
With the smoke in our eyes
But it's onward we march
There's no use in us looking behind
No we're just looking for something
To kill all this goddamn time
So we build pretty machines
That could stand
Between us and our lives
And at once, just like a dream
With a violent scream
A white falcon landed
We knew, right there and then
This was the end
We're either saved or stranded
So we lay at the altar
Of vanishing windows and words
But we don't know if it's Satan or God
Who's appeared as this bird
But anything that's unknown
Or unowned by us is a curse
So whatever it is
It should be killed
And stuffed in our purse
There's too much to say
Can't be explained
In my Broken English
Except that you and me
And what lays between us
Can't be distinguished
So if it's all an abstraction
A worthless distraction by you
Where every word's lost its meaning
But still doesn't stop getting used
And all our method of thinking
Keep sinking away from the truth
We'll be gone and forgotten
Our one final offering to you
'Cause goddamn
Don't you want us to be
Anything at all, man
Don't you want us to be
Anything at all, man
Don't you want us to be
Anything at all, man
Don't you want us to be
Anything at all, man
Don't you want us to be any-- Goddamn!
Don't you want us to be
Anything at all, man
Don't you want us to be
Anything at all, man
Don't you want us to be
Anything at all, man
Don't you want us to be
Anything at all, man
Don't you want us to be
Anything at all
Hallucinate
'Neath your marbled columns
With hearts that are made to bleed
The trick's to need 'em
