This is the window where[00:00:01]
I watched the future start[00:00:04]
My pupils dilated[00:00:06]
The shock sped up my arms[00:00:09]
I shut my ambushed eyes[00:00:11]
And turned my face towards the heat[00:00:14]
I felt the city choke[00:00:20]
I heard the world at war[00:00:23]
I prayed for providence[00:00:25]
God said 'don't pray no more[00:00:28]
You went and made your mess[00:00:30]
Now keep your blame off my feet'[00:00:33]
So I got off my knees[00:00:39]
I faced the devil's day[00:00:42]
The sky was murder red[00:00:44]
The streets were headstone gray[00:00:47]
A flaming ferris wheel[00:00:49]
Spun where the sun used to be[00:00:51]
I watched its buckets dip and dance[00:00:54]
I saw a couple making love lock hands[00:00:57]
They were pushing for abandon and the answers it could bring[00:01:03]
90 million miles from the graveyard growing over everything[00:01:08]
I saw my lover chased[00:01:52]
Through fields of sugarcane[00:01:54]
She clutched her belly close[00:01:56]
And whispered keep us safe[00:01:59]
They ground her down to dust[00:02:01]
No more miracles today[00:02:04]
I dreamt myself awake[00:02:10]
In a resort hotel[00:02:13]
Above a golden coast[00:02:15]
Beside my Southern belle[00:02:18]
We heard the sea reborn[00:02:20]
In each singing shell[00:02:23]
And every coughing car[00:02:29]
And every coiled snake[00:02:32]
And every shrieking star[00:02:34]
And every burning stake[00:02:37]
Dissolved to atmosphere[00:02:39]
All of everything erased[00:02:41]
I spread into a distant hum[00:02:44]
I droned along with everyone[00:02:48]
And the earth grew green and nursed herself to what she used to be[00:02:53]
All our senseless shouting calmed to quiet in her ancient memory[00:02:57]
And oh what a joy[00:03:16]
To be free[00:03:29]
