Engines of paradox
are you gonna calculate
our asses out of the slings
we knocked ourselves into
Everybody talks
about how long they had to wait
in their fine fancy dresses and diamond rings
to get inside the clubs you been to
We worry about the stupid lies
We’re drawn to it like shit and flies
The equations the engine’s persuasions
can’t convince us
We’ll dance until the floor caves in
We’ve learned to hate life and crave sin
The engines’ persistence and quiet insistence
Is no evidence to us
Engines of paradox
are you gonna clarify
our sad history of failing
To work out our problems alone
Everybody always stalks
But the closer you get the air seems to rarify
And leaves you clutching the railing
trying to remember where you saw a telephone
You can read an explanation of the origin of these lyrics here
