Lyrics
0:13The sun is high up in the sky and I'm in my car
0:19Drifting down into the abattoir
0:24Do you see what I see dear
0:28The air grows heavy I listen to your breath
0:34Entwined together in this culture of death
0:39Do you see what I see dear
0:43Slide on over here let me give you a squeeze
0:49To avert this unholy evolutionary trajectory
0:54Can you hear what I hear babe
0:58Does it make you feel afraid
1:07Everything's dissolving
1:08Babe according to plan
1:13The sky is on fire the dead
1:16Are heaped across the land
1:19I went to bed last night and
1:21My moral code got jammed
1:25I woke up this morning with
1:27A Frappucino in my hand
1:44I kissed you once I kissed you again
1:50My heart it tumbled like the stock exchange
1:55Do you feel what I feel dear
1:59Mass extinction darling hypocrisy
2:05These things are not good for me
2:11Do you see what I see dear
2:14The line the God throws down to you and me
2:20Makes a pleasing geometry
2:25Shall we leave this place now dear
2:30Is there someway out of here
2:39I wake with the sparrows
2:40And I hurry off to work
2:45The need for validation babe
2:47Gone completely berserk
2:51I wanted to be your Superman
2:53But I turned out such a jerk
2:55I got the abattoir blues
3:01I got the abattoir blues
3:07I got the abattoir blues
3:12Right down to my shoes
The sun is high up in the sky and I'm in my car Drifting down into the abattoir Do you see what I see dear The air grows heavy I listen to your breath Entwined together in this culture of death Do you see what I see dear Slide on over here let me give you a squeeze To avert this unholy evolutionary trajectory Can you hear what I hear babe Does it make you feel afraid Everything's dissolving Babe according to plan The sky is on fire the dead Are heaped across the land I went to bed last night and My moral code got jammed I woke up this morning with A Frappucino in my hand I kissed you once I kissed you again My heart it tumbled like the stock exchange Do you feel what I feel dear Mass extinction darling hypocrisy These things are not good for me Do you see what I see dear The line the God throws down to you and me Makes a pleasing geometry Shall we leave this place now dear Is there someway out of here I wake with the sparrows And I hurry off to work The need for validation babe Gone completely berserk I wanted to be your Superman But I turned out such a jerk I got the abattoir blues I got the abattoir blues I got the abattoir blues Right down to my shoes
