LIKE A ROCK,
LIKE A PLANET,
LIKE A FUCKING ATOM BOMB,
I'LL REMAIN UNPERTURBED BY THE JOY AND THE MADNESS
THAT I ENCOUNTER EVERYWHERE I TURN
I'VE SEEN IT ALL BEFORE
IN BOOK AND MAGAZINES
LIKE A TWITCH BEFORE DYING
LIKE A PORNOGRAPHIC SEA
THERE'S A FLOWER BEHIND THE WINDOW
THERE'S AN UGLY LAUGHING MAN
LIKE A HUMMINGBIRD IN SILENCE
LIKE THE BLOOD ON THE DOOR
IT'S THE GENERATOR
OH YEAH, OH YEAH, LIKE THE BLOOD ON MY DOOR
WASH ME CLEAN AND I WILL RUN
UNTIL I REACH THE SHORE
I'VE KNOWN IT ALL ALONG
LIKE THE BONE UNDER MY SKIN
LIKE ACTORS IN A PHOTOGRAPH
LIKE PAPER IN THE WIND
THERE'S A HAMMER BY THE WINDOW
THERE'S A KNIFE ON THE FLOOR
LIKE TURBINES IN DARKNESS
LIKE THE BLOOD ON MY DOOR
IT'S THE GENERATOR
