White Noise White Heat

I was born with a trust that didn't survive

The white noise of the lies, oh

The white heat of injustice has taken my eyes

I just wanna get high

I am the great collector

I tally, catalogue and hold to the light

Forgotten scenes of love

Some of them were mine, all mine

I pick the broken dreams that hang in city-centre trees

All the love made urgently that gathers in the gutters of your mind

Some of it was mine, all mine

I was born with a trust that didn't survive

The white noise of the lies, oh

The white heat of injustice has taken my eyes

I just wanna get high, oh

I was born with a trust that didn't survive

The white noise of the lies, oh

The white heat of injustice has taken my eyes

I just wanna get high

I tried to save the world

Silly boy by sullen girl

With love as a given

Driven by my certainty

That they'd never beat it out of me

But who am I?

Some Blarney Mantovani with a lullaby

When the sky's falling in?

I believe I'm giving in

Ooh, the coldness of space

With a suit that could do it

I was born with a trust that didn't survive

The white noise of the lies, oh

The white heat of injustice has taken my eyes

I just wanna get high, oh

I was born with a trust that didn't survive

The white noise of the lies, oh

The white heat of injustice has taken my eyes

I just wanna get high, oh
