There's slaughter in the air
Protest on the wind
Someone else inside me
Someone could get skinned, how?
My, my someone fetch a priest
You can't say no to the Beauty and the Beast

You get up and sleep
The wind blows on your check
The day laughs in your face
Guess you'll buy a gun
You'll buy it secondhand
You'll get up and sleep
Joe the lion made of iron

Sons of the silent age
Pacing their rooms like a cell's dimensions
Rise for a year or two then make war
Search through their one inch thoughts
Then decide it couldn't be done

(Instrumental) 

( Instrumental )

If you don't stay tonight
I will take that plane tonight
I've nothing to lose, nothing to gain
I'll kiss you in the rain
Oh, get me on my feet
Get me off the streets
Get some protection!

I was running at the speed of life
Through morning's thoughts and fantasies
Then I saw your eyes
at the cross fades
Secret secrets never seen
Secret secrets ever green
