Emergency

Under a Los Angeles heat lamp Turn the earth into a convenience store Treadmills full of cars and parking lots The freeway never stops Don't you know it was an emergency To burn the food to keep the scarcity They put a bullet in his head, in his head for me 'Cause that's how freedom looks to me I know, I know The sun will never set I got a lot of lightbulbs I know, I know Desire on the walls It drags us to the floor and out the door As soon as you cancel your plans to not get enough You'll know that life shrinks and expands relative to love And it's not an invisible hand if it's covered in blood And counting in dollars demands the damages done That ripple across distant lands From satellite unseen commands And they covered their heads with their hands Afraid of the sun Channels of inscribed ink Incised by the city of teeth Sinking down underneath Sinking down
