Painting the night unreal Out-glossing neon, selling sex-appeal Cheaper thrills and instant visions Dreams that men will steal
Barge in on softer shoes Putting stickers on the darker hues Carnivores in pink polyester Dig that L. A. Ruse
Those family ties, those brainless insulting big lies That bald-eagle seal, so that we know it isn't real
Initiate and commence countdown There's a new sheriff in town Paint the night in your favourite shade Before the colours all fade, the thrills all decay Untill there is nothing but mediocrity on display
Keep it contained and still Put some meaning in those sugared pills Let them dream their sweet psychosis Syndicate their thrills
The greatest scam, the soft white underbelly of uncle sam The stench and the pain you can never contain
