(Years ago there was this movie on the inevitable Nuclear conflagration. I started thinking about all the people living on auto-pilot, going to work, coming home from work, etc. Blue tubes of TVs flickering in the silence at three am. Then a white flash)
...
Put your mind on automatic pilot;
And your body on cruise control,
And go thru the motions of another day—
Don’t let them drug your soul (o-ol)
Peel your eyes in the blackness;
And seal your dreams in a jar
And feel your way in a darkened room—
But don’t forget who you are (a-are)
Blue tubes flicker,
Rupturing the darkness
Structuring the silence
In a million living rooms...
Blue tubes flicker,
Novocaine the present
Portend for the future
Apocalypse is dancing,
Gold mushrooms...
Peel your eyes in the blackness;
And seal your dreams in a jar
And feel your way in a darkened room—
But don’t forget who you are (a-are)
Peel your eyes in the blackness;
And seal your dreams in a jar
And feel your way in a darkened room—
But don’t forget who you are (a-are)
Instrumental
Park your soul into gridlock
(And) Lay your mind at the door
Numb your way thru a
Dumbed-down day
But don’t forget there is more
Peel your eyes in the blackness;
And seal your dreams in a jar
And feel your way in a darkened room—
But don’t forget who you are (a-are)
Blue tubes flicker,
Rupturing the darkness
Structuring the silence
In a million living rooms...
Blue tubes flicker,
Novocaine the present
Portend for the future
Apocalypse is dancing,
Gold mushrooms...
Peel your eyes in the blackness;
And seal your dreams in a jar
And feel your way in a darkened room—
But don’t forget who you are (a-are)
