lyrics

I never knew the truth of the grey matter
until you walked in the door
clocks started melting
the trains ran on time, order was restored
celebrate in the streets
while a ticker tape parade plays on the news

lately all my dreams
carry a tinge of blue
I awake and see smoke curl around me and you
we’re going up in flames
burning the past away
it’s the truth of the matter
the truth of the matter

we call for revolution
a silver haze filtered through the streets
the presses stopped for a moment
northern lights over the mountaintop cast shadows in the trees

lately all my dreams
carry a tinge of blue
I awake and see smoke curl around me and you
we’re going up in flames
burning the past away
it’s the truth of the matter
the truth of the matter

I am a phantom limb
my nerves are a one way street
so won’t you come down from your window
I brought kerosene

lately all my dreams
carry a tinge of blue
I awake and see smoke curl around me and you
we’re going up in flames
burning the past away
it’s the truth of the matter
the truth of the matter
