Frozen in Static

Let me tell you about the crooks I've seen
They showed me nothing but a crooked lean is all
Little liars on a fizzy screen of lights
Little lifeboats on a sinking scene is all
Let me tell you how the jury's rigged
How no one cares about the dirt you dig and why
Marching elephants and apostates
And pretty prison blocks and ticket tents and vomit
Someone call an ambulance
Everything is patterned and somnambulant
Someone call the local press
Everything is patterned and somnambulant
Count every ember in that fire you're reaching through
And every tenor in that choir you're preaching to
Strolling all along in vague milieu
I want to watch it all sinking in the vomit
And a hatful of rabbits just falls into caskets
At the death of the magician, do the dummies keep on dancing
When the veil falls from your eyes and you're stripped of your leaves
And the winter is over, will everything still be
Frozen in static
Frozen in static
Frozen in static
Frozen in static

And you wanted to know it but you never knew it
And you wanted to touch it but you couldn't feel it
And you wanted to feel it but you fell through it
And you wanted to prove it but you couldn't do it
And you wanted to know it but you never knew it
And you wanted to touch it but you couldn't feel it
And you wanted to feel it but you fell through it
And you wanted to prove it but you couldn't do it
And you wanted to know it but you never knew it
And you wanted to touch it but you couldn't feel it
And you wanted to feel it but you fell through it
And you wanted to prove it but you couldn't do it
And you wanted to know it but you never knew it
And you wanted to touch it but you couldn't feel it
And you wanted to feel it but you fell
