lyrics

i wonder how we got from the firing squad
to the other end, and back again
the smoke rings from our pipes circling like birds
preying on our life

(chorus)
thirst is alive, thirst is alive
to tell you what you want
thirst takes no sides, thirst takes no sides
be careful what you want

the skies are changing now, the axis of the earth
tilting with the times
we’ll build ‘em with our left and crush ‘em with our rights
while moving all the lines

(bridge)
i’ve made a racket, a real-life war jacket
it’s under my suit and stiletto high boots
is there someone to save me from all that has changed me
a fire escape door from the cancer of more

turn the pages fast with fingers that have bled
these implicated dreams
