lyrics

How can I contend
with the defects in my head?
Just carry me down, pretty machine
to the runway's end

We never knew
when the underground station moved
never knew what it's like to fail

These cloudy days
when we can't see beyond the haze
birds will try to outfly their burning tails

How can I contend
with the waves that make me fall?

Just carry me down, pretty machine
to the end of it all

Long before we moved on
they said the old constants were gone
nothing to be understood

They'll know it's true
that we didn't know what to do
because what we've done did no good

How can I conceal
that the eschaton is overdue?

Just carry me down, pretty machine
where I left you

Someday we'll shine
like a gem in an alien sky
maybe then we'll be understood

They'll know it's true
that we didn't know what to do
because what we've done did no good
