Generator Lyrics

Like a rock,
like a planet,
Like a fucking atom bomb,

I'll remain unperturbed by the joy and the madness
that i encounter everywhere I turn

I've seen it all before

In book and magazines
like a twitch before dying
like a pornographic sea

there's a flower behind the window
there's an ugly laughing man
like a hummingbird in silence
like the blood on the door

it's the generator

oh yeah, oh yeah, like the blood on my door
wash me clean and I will run
until i reach the shore

I've known it all along
like the bone under my skin
like actors in a photograph
like paper in the wind

there's a hammer by the window
there's a knife on the floor
like turbines in darkness
like the blood on my door
it's the generator
