AutoBoy
Take your pretty pictures
Of the city lights burning away
A caustic look across the night
At the spirit upon the water
Let there be light mutters the feel
The camera flash spits the darkness
The city sits torn at the edges
Rising on the naked hill between us
Take your pretty pictures
Come, lay down your palms
Your saviour is coming home
Somewhere between silicone and Christ
Rolling out of his personal conflict zone
He carries the final draft of his life
The gospel according to contemporary pain
Pulls out the last page before the writer
Looks him in the eye and says try again
Take your pretty pictures
Can you tell me friend
When these nightmare movie times are released
Sleep is the ceremony and you are the priest
In the morning, you're not here, and nothing is as it seemed
Blood keeps moving, though the heartbeat has ceased
And you still can't look twice
Faded film, that was you and him
Dressed in silence now, the darkening sky
Shadows thrown across the room, of some other passer-by
The sisters are silent now
They know the hill, they know the spot
They know the blood has never been more real
When the body is found, a face you forgot
Take your pretty pictures
Of the city lights burning away
A caustic look across the night
At the spirit upon the water
Let there be light mutters the feel
The camera flash spits the darkness
The city sits torn at the edges
Rising on the naked hill between us
Take your pretty pictures
Come, lay down your palms
Your saviour is coming home
Somewhere between silicone and Christ
Rolling out of his personal conflict zone
He carries the final draft of his life
The gospel according to contemporary pain
Pulls out the last page before the writer
Looks him in the eye and says try again
Take your pretty pictures
Can you tell me friend
When these nightmare movie times are released
Sleep is the ceremony and you are the priest
In the morning, you're not here, and nothing is as it seemed
Blood keeps moving, though the heartbeat has ceased
And you still can't look twice
Faded film, that was you and him
Dressed in silence now, the darkening sky
Shadows thrown across the room, of some other passer-by
The sisters are silent now
They know the hill, they know the spot
They know the blood has never been more real
When the body is found, a face you forgot
Take your pretty pictures
