Eco Mouse

Of all the lights and city car parks
I do believe I've seen yours first
And all the flames like your fossil breath
Shadows come creeping in on you

She hides like a steeple
Walks like thunder
Breathes like a forest
Waves like the ocean

For all the things you've done today
And all the filth that's blown our way
You can't deceive, you can't deceive
Your promises are on display

For all the times we've paid the price
For those who've got the bigger slice
You can't deceive, you can't deceive
Your promises are on display
You've soiled the chair you sat upon

When all the rooms are full and smoking
We'll smash the doors to gain the air
We'll bathe on shores that bleed the skin
While shadows slip inside of you

She falls like a Shire horse
Runs like a river
Smiles like a reactor
Plays God the Forgiver

For all the things you've done today
And all the filth that's blown our way
You can't deceive, you can't deceive
Your promises are on display

For all the times we've paid the price
For those who've got the bigger slice
You can't deceive, you can't deceive
Your promises are on display
You've soiled the chair you sat upon

A camera shot freezes the light from a daisy
That's chained to the ground by scum of the earth
A newspaper shows as the canopy grows
The holes in the sky have passed their worst

Down in the sewer we're fighting the pressure
Of Victorian style that's way out of date
While up on the terrace the rain turns to black
All that it splatters returns a new leaf

A child with no eyes is in for a surprise
When the food that he eats will sit in his gut
While out to the coast where we all love the most
A gathering of st is seen to attack again

For all of those you told were safe
For all the sacks of rice and faith
There's no reprieve, There's no reprieve
You'll lie along with the rest of us

For all the murders engineered
Your immortal dream has disappeared
There's no reprieve, There's no reprieve
Your dreams will die like the rest of us
