Awe/Arc

Surf's up, festooned
With grey seals and bellies split
A way from the shore line
Slow drive, leader of America

Black cars and sleek lines
Dark glass, silent as a tomb
Crowds line the streets like
Gasping, magnets with cataracts, they're watching

Motorcade smoking on its back in the sun
Twisted and humming, twisted and humming
Rubber tyres spinning and expanding aloud
Glass in a rainbow, glass in a rainbow

The driver crawls free and he starts writhing around
The president's moaning, the president's moaning
He says, "Shock and awe, baby, just takes all of my time
God is my witness, I need a witness, like..."

Sun roof, the First Lady
Half in and half is on the road
Seatbelt clings on
And sweat runs up his neck and spine

Hands shake and ears ring
Blood pools by the bodyguard
Wheels slow, the fumes die
There's nobody left, he's alone and counting

Motorcade smoking on its back in the sun
Twisted and humming, twisted and humming
Rubber tyres spinning and expanding aloud
Glass in a rainbow, glass in a rainbow

The driver crawls free and he starts writhing around
The president's moaning, the president's moaning
He says, "Shock and awe, baby, just takes all of my time
God is my witness, I need a witness, like..."
Ooh

Oh, I've really done it, now
Man in grey
He's strapped in and he's upside down
The wreckage of a limo
Crying, "Oh, I've really done it, now"
Ah (ah)
Oh, I've really done it, now (ah)
