Crystal

(альбом: Candy Apple Grey - 1986)

Avalanche looms overhead
Airplane flies overhead
Important man sits by the window
Sucked out of the first class window

Images run by, a thousand miles an hour
But the time seems far away
Folding clothes in a folding closet
Folding money in your resumé

It's time to let off some pressure
It's time to let off some steam
And all your notebooks get thrown away
You start your diary clean

Crystal glass lined up in a row
Watched over by the G.I. Joes
Sugar in your coffee doesn't taste quite right
Feeling the effects for a hundred thousand nights

When civilization falls in its grave
Technology throws on the dirt
You realize the finest things in life
Are the ones that can never be hurt

Time to let off some pressure
Time to let off some steam
And all your notebooks get thrown away
You start your diary clean

Crystal glass lined up in a row
Watched over by the G.I. Joes
Sugar in your coffee doesn't taste quite right
Feeling the effects for a hundred thousand nights

Shatters your brain
It shatters your brain
Shatters your brain
It shatters your brain

Shatters your brain in a million tiny pieces
The sounds you hear aren't coming out right
You think it might be mystic, you think I might be cryptic
The crystal in your china case is breaking in a million tiny pieces
