Staircase
Automaton drone You're lost with no phone And the home you made your own Can never be paid for The great in the small The rise and the fall And you come back for more The need to belong And the will to do no wrong The ones that you lost Abandoned or crossed Will haunt you Plagued by poor health But you stockpile more wealth Congratulate yourself A sense of proportion An act of extortion There's too much distortion You sink in stages As you're approaching middle ages You're up to here in debt Insidious tech You're up to your neck SongtexteWhy don't you give it a rest? A train set A cold war threat A prison A poison nest A chrome cassette Division The blue and white A power strike A girl you like The daylight fades You feel your way Daguerreotype The power of nature And the oppression of strangers The consequence of dread A barbarous brain A dominant strain You'll never win this game Aus Songtexte Mania
