lyrics

The lampshades in full bloom
Illuminate you
The flowers in the pavement
Still make me happy
You said that we would live by this river
But now the waters tainted forever

Write with letterhead
Dine with silver
Big decisions move through gold fingers
Buzzing amps cast the end of days
Leave your bags, well all run away

Dark clouds obscure the plains
But not a drop of rain
The folks hid in their bunkers
They're rich and laughing
We hoped that we might die beside the other
Walking through this wasteland together

Write with letterhead
Dine with silver
Big decisions move through gold fingers
Buzzing amps cast the end of days
Leave your bags, we’ll all run away.
