The Legendary Pink Dots - Break Day lyrics
[The Legendary Pink Dots - Break Day lyrics]
The slogans turned to secrets
The symbols turned to
Stains the face of an 'enemy' was
Imprinted on our brains made us spectres at
The shutters, faces covered, taking aim
Faking blame
Break Day the brakes failed - we
All broke down together
Drains were painted scarlet scars were opened
Wide kids saluted in the basements, whistled
Hymns and homicide and though we wanted
To change thing, the fact remains
We never tried
Break Day
The brakes failed - breaking down together
But YOU had a chance you had the brains
You had the money - could have
Bought an aeroplane and skipped this hole for
Somewhere sunny you recognised the symptoms
Smelt the hatred in the air but
You stayed you better pray
A nurse hid and shivered as an army
Axed her door linking arms, drinking orders
Urinating on the floor spilt the milk
Split a hymen took her wicked
Made her sore told her it was Break Day
The symbols turned to
Stains the face of an 'enemy' was
Imprinted on our brains made us spectres at
The shutters, faces covered, taking aim
Faking blame
Break Day the brakes failed - we
All broke down together
Drains were painted scarlet scars were opened
Wide kids saluted in the basements, whistled
Hymns and homicide and though we wanted
To change thing, the fact remains
We never tried
Break Day
The brakes failed - breaking down together
But YOU had a chance you had the brains
You had the money - could have
Bought an aeroplane and skipped this hole for
Somewhere sunny you recognised the symptoms
Smelt the hatred in the air but
You stayed you better pray
A nurse hid and shivered as an army
Axed her door linking arms, drinking orders
Urinating on the floor spilt the milk
Split a hymen took her wicked
Made her sore told her it was Break Day
