these hot machine years burning time across your face see the smoke stacks rising up like fuck you towers my girlfriend sang like a hummingbird today until that cough stole her voice and fed it to the furnace shrew laugh trench throat there s a party on the 16th floor this apartments paper thin walls you know your neighbors sobs by heart tight coil cold grin highways wrapped around my body like a snake got a view of a cement lawn amputated horizons thanks for the survival rags thanks for the soiled skies thanks for the fucked up future we can learn to love misery was it just last night that i woke up to a snarling baby did i hear it right he begged his mother feed me to the forest the factory is singing us to sleepless beds tonight lungs like twin garbage sacks sucking charcoal breath tonight sick squeal dull moan looks like your neighbors found another victim screams help but no one comes honey won t you turn the tv on brown summer stench wind the globe spinning on a rusty hinge get in your car go to your job like a train that s being robbed
