Painting The Night Unreal

Painting the night unreal

Out-glossing neon, selling sex-appeal

Cheaper thrills and instant visions

Dreams that men will steal

Barge in on softer shoes

Putting stickers on the darker hues

Carnivores in pink polyester

Dig that L.A. ruse

Those family ties, those brainless insulting big lies

That bald-eagle seal, so that we know it isn't real

Initiate and commence countdown

There's a new sheriff in town

Paint the night in your favourite shade

Before the colours all fade, the thrills all decay

Untill there is nothing but mediocrity on display

Keep it contained and still

Put some meaning in those sugared pills

Let them dream their sweet psychosis

Syndicate their thrills

The greatest scam, the soft white underbelly of uncle sam

The stench and the pain you can never contain
