Jane spilled her drink down her shirt and smiled satisfied the circle of fifths diminished by one she goes out on the dance floor it's a push pull scene for the young and the restless everything gets routine and the boys and girls we tried to be are no longer quite as clean stand alone skulls aligned nights are old you scan the crowd you've met your match the money's flashed ok let's go did you catch his eye you're not who he's thinking of one last look as you turn to leave you hope he'll follow stupid dream back on the street you want the cold walk fast with some faked purpose eyes straight and studied indifference you're the type he thinks about sometimes

Because Of You

When you left the room there were whispers
You're an object of lust, a subject of mystery
Tonight the pilot lights wink like eyes
The tubes glow blue
The fuses spark
The wires burn bright
Because of you
You are on everyone's special list
You've placed yourself in the center of it all
All the encore calls, they were for you
But here on sacred ground there's something wrong
I can't recognize you anymore
I held my breath as I watched the film
You looked like you, but you didn't look real
The scene looked fake
The gun shot blanks
The cars were stunts
The kiss took ten takes
Just a dream before waking
All the encore calls, they were for you
But here on sacred ground there's something wrong
I can't recognize you anymore
When you left the room there were whispers
You're an object of desire, a subject of mystery
But tonight, the pilot lights wink like eyes
The tubes glow blue
The fuses spark
The wires burn bright
Because of you

Green Christ king of nuclear waste black ghost crucified on a cross of gold southern shock troops steal our souls children pray in school the unwanted brought into the world white house whores businessmen in epaulets command bomber squadrons wargame factories while hidden victims rot in lime green rooms war criminals see winnable wars freedom fighters raped the nuns welcomed at the embassy gestapo diplomacy a face without features a squirming charlatan on a white horse squints into the public eye and lies

ou think you know it all
You work hard enough but your job seems dull
I could've been you, but I prefer not to
Choose your targets you say
My eye's on the bull's eye
Right on the mark
I'm staring at you, but I prefer not to
So we work the graveyard shift
We're underpaid but not unprepared
I could've been you, but I prefer not to
I think I know it all
I work hard enough but my life seems dull
Jealousy breeds contempt
Who me? C'mon
I'm a lot like you
I'm a dime-a-dance girl
So this is how we measure success
