lyrics

gasoline rainbows
over mercury lakes
cataract halos
for illuminated fakes

if life is a series
of narrow escapes
magical thinking
puts a file in every cake

in backwaters of belief
they’ve been sharpening their teeth
wings of angels, satellites
fall burning in the night

vulturine heroes
beguile and betray
dopamine payloads
drive this on-demand doomsday

in backwaters of belief
they’ve been sharpening their teeth
wings of angels, satellites
fall burning in the night

and what good
is the word
of a god
who won’t return
til everything has burned

gasoline rainbows
cataract halos
dopamine payload
down a dead end road
merrily we go
