amazing what can do

agradecimientos: bushmeister, sony Ericksson, myspace]

Turn off the TV and turn off the light
Turn off the street lamps as well

Turn off the billboards that scream through the night
and dream the policemen to Hell

Close all the windows and close all the doors
Close all the shutters and blinds

Close down the churches and pray to the whores,
lay down and then close your eyes


It's amazing what comes into view
as we're finally breaking the chains
When the temperature rises
we'll go to our place in the rain

Take down the pictures and take out the trash
Take up the tattered old rugs

Take up the mattress and count all the cash
and laugh with the last of the drugs

Burn all the papers and burn all the wood
Burn what we can't understand
Run up a flag for the old neighbourhood,
sit back and then take my hand

It's amazing what lovers can do
with just a kiss and a glass of champagne
When the rivers run dry
we can go to our place in the rain


Pay off the piper and pay all the bills
Pay for the getaway car

Blow out the candles and head for the hills,
pray that we make it that far

Run from the poison and run from the flames
Run from the maddening crowd
Laugh at the whispers of who'll take the blame and sing all the sinners out loud:

It's amazing what crazy can do
when every good citizen's sane
When heaven's a desert
we'll go to our place in the rain

It's amazing what comes into view
when you just connect your heart back to your brain
When heaven's a desert
we'll go to our place in the rain
