Silence in the cage
The structure persuades
But I look around to the orange bright sun
And hold up my breath
And think of the damage that's bound to become

An atone with dioxides
And vomit these toxins
That's tearing these solids and giving it space
But seasons to give
She reached out in sorrow
And vanished the land
No past or tomorrow

And
~Chorus~
Suddenly reeking of daisies and sandalwood
Children of peasants on bridges they stood
Look away from the fire and this campaign of quicksand
This campaign of oil
Beating out of the land like a drum

Like a drum

Like a drum (like a drum)

These days are infectious
With fluorescent cars
And billionaires hung on the streets for the stars
And satellite projection
Beaming branches for the vine
In this cyber-world of dreaming
Hoaxing water into wine

So sing loud for the canyons
And soft for the parasites
And squeeze your spouses and children goodnight
And map out your futures and freeze-dry your food
And look for your reflection on a dime

Yet
~Chorus~
(Like a dr-um o-oh)
(2X)

Giving you endless painted versions of your future and your past
And your busy troubled fortress will be stilled
(2X)
Up-on th-e v-ast

Silence in the cage
The structure persuades me
But I look around to the orange bright sun
And hold up my breath
And think of the damage that's bound to behave

'Cause suddenly reeking of daisies and sandalwood
Children of peasants on bridges they stood
Look away from this fire
This campaign of quicksand
This campaign of oil
Beating out of the l-and to the One
To the O-ne o-oh
To the O-ne o-oh
To the O-ne
