Sores

Planes circle the world like hummingbirds
There’s no substance in the ground today
A giant silver flicking baby
Crawls across the USA

And Cher is my guardian angel
She raises me up I her wings
So old and wise and soft and fair
Her face is plastic but it sings

I’ve been spoiled by girls and boys and
I know you don’t want to go but it’ll be okay

It’s just the wires of change
Burning into your brain
Soon you won’t feel the pain
Just don’t go insane

And all the Byzantine empires
All the relics and shrouds
Empty missiles in hollow bunkers
Whose hands will push your buttons now?

Her eyes are stars are stars as she walks to the bar
They won’t burn out in my time
Oh give me something more than this
Infinite half life and I’ll give you sores

I’ve been spoiled by girls and boys and
I know it’s hurting you so but it’ll be okay

It’s just the wires of change
Cutting into your brain
Soon you won’t feel so strange
Just don’t go insane

It’s just the wires of change
Cutting into your brain
Soon you won’t feel the pain
Just don’t go insane
