"the car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides and a dark wind blows.-The government is corrupt and we're on so many drugs with the radio on and the curtains drawn.-We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine and the machine is bleeding to death.-The sun has fallen down and the billboards are all leering and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles.-It went like this:The buildings tumbled in on themselves mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble and pulled out their hair.-The skyline was beautiful on fire all twisted metal stretching upwards everything washed in a thin orange haze.-I said: "kiss me, you're beautiful - these are truly the last days".You grabbed my hand and we fell into it like a daydream or a fever.-We woke up one morning and fell a little further down - for sure it's the valley of death.-I open up my wallet and it's full of blood." Dead Flag Blues.
