Gun Show - Classics of Love

People said that the oil was cold

And the old Gods were pushing up mold

We strung our instruments

And got ready for the embarrassments

In the middle of a lunatic world

We didn’t reach for the champion’s pearl

Excavated a private hallway

And chose «sometimes» over «almost always»

We’ll try it anyway

Don’t care about success and failure

Just want a chance to impale the jailer

Don’t long for yesterday

Or hope for a good tomorrow

This very hour is less than borrowed

Gun show

Move slow

Every hour is a year to the crows

Small stage

Ice age

Never listen to the things that people say

We stood at the very last edge

Of everything that had ever been said

Took a look at the people’s archive

Nodded politely and chose the swan-dive

There are no heroes in the room

Just ghouls in the rock & roll tomb

Do we look like statues to you for slide projection

And pin-cushion voodoo?
