Satirical clowns Really got me down Seriously done Wanks on Channel One They painted a scene A picture of you and me, so skewed, they knew it Cultural circles narrow ratios Make us believe in something spatial We need to hear what they don't mention Save us from the jaws of their oppression What's that word you said?

So tell me what is the point of wearin' gloves on yer hands When it's no even that cauld They're so thick, do you feel me? If ye want tae let yer fingers loose, that'd be fine by me. So tell me what is the point of wearin' lipstick on yer lips When they're no' pressed against mine Kissin' hard 'til it smudges If ye want tae let yer tongue run loose, that'd be fine by me.

Starkness of morning light That's where I found it A hidden prisonscape That's where I found it Left in the dark of the Night-time is prison-time Stare out horizons Into the vanishing I've just discovered it's you Vanishing, anything, perishing, feel a thing Eyes leaning forward, elliptical nothings This point I disappear I'm lost by a bridge The mental everything In love and duress I'm not entirely sure it was you That brought me to here Even if I walked to here I lay the blame at your door Look at me, basically, lost at sea, finally Tryin' to wrap ma head 'round the physical nothing Cell empty head to brain cell empty head to brain Nothin' is certainty when you look at me A hidden prisonscape built on lack of trust Nothin' is certainty when you look at me A hidden prisonscape built on true lack of trust Correlate, masticate, mediate, born to hate, Trapped inside nothin', a vacuous union

Stuck between myself, how things can change Plain and steady roads bleed tae mountain range Higher altitudes make it hard tae breathe Help me Why can't I take the strain and repurpose I'm burning up though I seem cool on the surface Brash teenage designs, fearless and bold Trouble maybe, aye, but they seldom fold Look back on a life that's no longer yours It's strange, it's strange Why can't I take the strain and repurpose I'm burning up though I seem cool on the surface

So what am I now? Just a flash in the pan Lustful thoughts of delicious pasts A naïve young man Do do do do do do Do do do do do do Do do do do do do Last chance to dance Last chance to dance I know you'll never look at me Like you do other men Cute ex-boyfriends and studly flings I am none of them A simple life, a greying lover That's how it will be I need to feel wanted And I want you to feel me Last chance to dance Last chance to dance
