Lyrics
Wholesale notoriety
Barcode your anxiety
You stage your fatal doom in a still photograph
There is a ragged dog all right
But you let him run around awhile
Though in housing bays
But it won't bite
He'll lose his heart and its denial
You were captive to the free press
Laser work in regress
You fix 'em and the repress all that and this
Thank you for your largesse
I hope you drop the charges
You know I crave the mark of your company
He was holed up in the brickyards
He could only take this so hard
He was driven on a mission
He did it in the pole position
I was always interested
Even if it was in whispers
But I knew he had me busted
I saw you at the Metro pictures
Rip the moonlit sky down and tear the sun
Shoot the fucking stars out, here we come
Let the gray clouds conspire and the rain fall between us
With your arm in mine by the bay side marina
Later outside where you told your one true wish
And I hid my smile 'cause you sounded so foolish
You cut down to size as light flashed in your eyes
And I looked in the night like the TV news
He was castigated for his lies
He was persecuted for his views
And we all disintegrated
Into one celestial fissure
Leaving all that went unstated
Taking all the Metro pictures
I will always be your lover
You will always be my sister
But I knew I need not bother
I saw you at the Metro pictures
