Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Figments of imagination
[Verse 2]
On a walk in a fragile state
Weird angles coming over the wire
Back home we got girls in braids
They're on roller skates
And they roll any way they like
[Verse 3]
From my town, I can always go down
Down my nose to the fish in the barrels
But then the wires in human life
There are pretty knives, an array gentle eyes
[Verse 4]
So tonight
Dance and cry
The dead alive
[Verse 5]
Monuments are awfully dense
I float by in a daze on the freeway
You can whine about different times
But, me, I'm fine
With the news far away
For the muse in your body to function
Rain's gonna fall, the hill's running high
Wash the blood and the guts to the ocean
Be the pike making everything all right
[Verse 6]
So tonight
Dance and cry
The dead alive
[Verse 7]
So tonight
Dance and cry
The dead alive
[Verse 8]
Figments
Figments of imagination
Figments of imagination
Figments of imagination
Figments of imagination
Figments of imagination
Figments of imagination
Figments of imagination
Figments of imagination
Figments of imagination
Figments of imagination
Figments of imagination
