Abattoir Blues

Lyrics for Abattoir Blues

The sun is high up in the sky and I'm in my car Drifting down into the abattoir Do you see what I see, dear? The air grows heavy I listen to your breath Entwined together in this culture of death Do you see what I see, dear? Slide on over here, let me give you a squeeze To avert this unholy evolutionary trajectory Can you hear what I hear, babe? Does it make you feel afraid? Everything's dissolving, babe, according to plan (oh yeah) The sky is on fire, the dead are heaped across the land (oh yeah) I went to bed last night and my moral code got jammed (oh yeah) I woke up this morning with a frappucino in my hand (oh yeah) I kissed you once I kissed you again My heart it tumbled like the stock exchange Do you feel what I feel, dear? Mass extinction, darling, hypocrisy These things are not good for me Do you see what I see, dear? The line the God throws down to you and me Makes a pleasing geometry Shall we leave this place now, dear? Is there some way out of here? I wake with the sparrows and I hurry off to work (oh yeah) The need for validation, babe, gone completely berserk (oh yeah) I wanted to be your Superman but I turned out such a jerk I got the abattoir blues I got the abattoir blues I got the abattoir blues Right down to my shoes (abbatoir blues) Down to my shoes (abbatoir blues) (Abbatoir blues) (Abbatoir blues) (Abbatoir blues) (Abbatoir blues)
