And that's when he said, "I don't wanna be washed up without you
Evolved to a lump in a shell lookin' out at the world
With no legs, no hands, no head
No glands, no plans, no throat, just... sand."
She said, "Well, don't go backwards
Don't stay sat down too long
Don't be background sound drowned out
Don't get stuck, move on
Don't get caught, found out
Don't get lost, don't get crossed out, don't get sqaushed
Don't come back, don't leave
Don't get drum tracks, don't get reverb
I get you, but you don't get me."
He said, "I never seen more than I see right now
But we've never known less
We've nеver known trust, no wisdom
How can a million blips with their silicone chips and an Instagram twitch rеpair the deep cracks to the kingdom?"
She said, "We're defined by our illformed opinions
Refreshed by the shock of it all
How novel."
And I said, "We live in the thrall of a gaggle of demons
With horsey demeanours and outdated opinions
And they sit on their lawns with their thousand pound picnics fresh from a hard day of speaking in tongues and murdering children
Cutting the funds to education and healthcare
They sentence our young to a lifetime of debt
Lovely tuxedos, satin and velvet
Losing control? Peddle another terrorist threat
Opportunity knocks
Britain's on its knees with blood dripping from its socks
Driven to new degrees of desperation and unease
With a mouthful of blame and tattoos that say, what?
Meanwhile, it's "Immigant this, immigrant that!"
But the populants poppin' to pop up some popout for pictures and popcorn and it's poppin' off
See the twin bulls with locked horns."
And the wise man says, "When there is hope, it's already too late."
Geronimo, nothin' but air, freefalling
Imagining something is there
It keeps calling:
"Come into the light! Open up your chest!
Why you so uptight and so stressed?
Come into the future! It's lovely over here
Just put your headset on and everything will be clear
Disappear, here, take this pill, stop worryin'
Loathe this world, stop fidgetin'
Go your own way, stop followin'
Make your own moves, be everythin'
Wake up and love more
Eat slogans for breakfast then shit out the alphabet then read the foul future before you pull the trigger
And flush the whole mess
Into the contaminated river."
And he said, "Yeah, I know I'm supposed to be angry
But lately I'm just into gumfuls of mandy and techno
It's so nice when you hold me
Don't let go
But let's go back to the matter at hand."
And she said, "I don't wanna be washed up without you."
And the sea crept up a little closer to the land
Geronimo blues, when there's nothin' left to lose but the planet
Jump off the edge and give thanks
Geronimo blues, when there's nothin' left to lose
Go past language and fill in the blanks
Go past language and fill in the...
