Lyrics

For we're living in a safety zone
Don't be holding back from me
We're living from hour to hour down here
And we'll take it when we can
It's a kind of living which recognizes
The death of the odorless man
When nothing is vanity nothing's too slow
It's not Eden but it's no sham
There is no hell (hell)
There is no shame (shame)
There is no hell (hell)
Like an old hell (hell)
There is no hell (hell)
And it's lights up, boys
Lights up boys
Explosion falls upon deaf ears
While we're swimming in a sea of sham
Living in the shadow of vanity
A complex fashion for a simple man
And there is no hell (hell)
And there is no shame (shame)
And there is no hell (hell)
Like an old hell (hell)
There is no hell (hell)
And the silence flies on its brief flight
A razor sharp crap shoot affair
And we light up our lives
And there's no more of me exploding you
Re-exposing you
Like everybody do
Re-exploding you
I don't know what to use
Make somebody move
Me exploding
Me exploding you
