Lyrics

Chasing the carrion, we watched the silver bird explode. we tiptoed
Through the barrier of smoke and took a hand, but found it unconnected. we
Were dining on the wreckage - white napkins round our necks, we took our
Plastic spoons and ate. we ate until we couldn't move, 'til sunset turned
The desert red and startled souls ascended to oblivion
A fat man with a guilty face held back and tried to hide his case as
Angels chanted, "you can't take it with you..." so we're told, heaven's
Paved with gold-but it has to come from somewhere?!
Paradise. it has it's price. we're forced to crawl through needle's
Eyes. our price. our choice. we rarely make the right one
