Blast Doors Songtext

von Everything Everything

You can tell the past, boy, I can tell the future
Give me a lobotomy and I can be your tutor
Open up the blast doors, then we can be neutered
I can smell your fingerprints all over my computer

So give me all the black-brown sticky sugar water
Swing you by your neck, mama, this can be your future
Something very strange about your picture in the mirror
When you move, it doesn't move - now how could that be weirder?

Just keep on rubbernecking, yeah, whatever feels familiar
I can send my brain on a holiday forever
You can fire a rocket at a rocket, it's the future
If you weren't already dead, I wouldn't have to school ya

You say you're gonna change, yeah-eh
But you don't have any time, yeah-eh-eh-eh

Down in my beast heart
I build an empire
Whenever I'm blind I
Open my wild eye
Down in my beast heart
I build an empire
Whenever I'm blind I
Open my wild eye

Go tell it to the plain clothed officer behind us
What are you, a master of disguise and keeping silent?
Drop another depth charge, coiling like a viper
Eyes so close together make it harder for the sniper

Shoot a starving porno for the yuppies in a circle
Second death upon you swimming backwards like a turtle
Man, I really trusted you, I thought you were civilian
I could shove a magnet in your mouth and make a million

So did you pack your bag or did somebody pack it for you?
Take me to the sad, sad, party that you're bound to
Whether you're a have not or a have I got a question
Are you living dead or is this some kind of possession?

You say you're gonna change, yeah-eh
But you don't have any time, yeah-eh-eh-eh

Down in my beast heart
I build an empire
Whenever I'm blind I
Open my wild eye
Down in my beast heart
I build an empire
Whenever I'm blind I
Open my wild eye

Down in my beast heart
I build an empire
Whenever I'm blind I
Open my wild eye
Down in my beast heart
I build an empire
Whenever I'm blind I

I hear the death rattle of a time wasted
Time wasted
You know that I believe in it
You know that I believe in it
But I'm wasted

You say you're gonna change, yeah-eh
But you don't have any time, yeah-eh-eh-eh

You say you're gonna change, yeah-eh
But you don't have any time, yeah-eh-eh-eh

Beast heart
Empire
Blind I
Wild eye
Down in my beast heart
I build an empire
Whenever I'm blind I
Open my wild eye

Down in my beast heart
I build an empire
Whenever I'm blind I
Open my wild eye
Down in my beast heart
I build an empire
Whenever I'm blind I
Open my wild eye
