Pointing out from inside the television
And the aperture yawning and blinking
And the headstones climbed up the hills

And you tell me that Hercules died burning
Consumed by an article of his own clothing
That's something I'd rather not be reminded of

I laid down by the water
Dreamed a dream of where I come from
Old things made new
Waiting for you

But in the dazzling winter sun that late I could feel them melt away

From the mess inside

But as sure as flowers grow along the western wall, some heads are going to roll

I want everyone to get high
Tell the press, tell the cameras
I want everyone to get high

We were the one thing in the galaxy

Well despite your best efforts I feel alright
Against my better judgement I feel alright
Despite your random acts of violence I feel alright
Despite the force of your fury I feel alright
