Lyrics for Striped White Jets

(R. Pollard) Send in the striped white jets In through stained glass ceilings, ah-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh Color them white or red Don't let anyone find out Or expose your feelings, ah-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh Cover your head instead And penetrate this dark heart And as the wound is healing, ah-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh Crawl to the other side Where things are new in brilliant blue And striped white jets come speeding through, ah-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh And we must not forget The sudden pain of birth and greed And what's expected of this superbreed And those who dream to touch the sun And those who run Who always run Perfect striped white jets In their hangars bleeding, ah-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh Cover them all in black
