Lyrics for Unintended Long Term Effects

Paper crane and a dirty train Trying to drive you away The arrows fit between our lips In the final stage Chemicals dissolve and the family disappears See the lapse in between the cracks in the atomic age Like a shot in the vein Like a shot in the vein Can a pilot see the distant arc of history I saw these lies all burst at once into blinding rays We need a truck We need something to take the dreams away The dream of peace is called to sleep in the passing pain Like a shot in the vein Like s shot in the vein There's a laptop hanging by a string In the flutter of a thousand paper wings Put your faith in the chemicals But you fear to crash and you overreact When you hear the bomb going off And you see the flash, it's out of sync When you take bitter pills No sugarcoat can match the taste A thousand paper cranes Let down in the rain A thousand paper cranes
