I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower That you made with plastic power Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away When the paralytic dreams that we all seem to keep Drive on engines 'til they weep With future pixels in factories far away So call the mainland from the beach Your heart is now washed up in bleach The waves are rising for this time of year And nobody knows what to do with the heat Under sunshine pylons we'll meet while rain is falling like rhinestones from the sky I got a feeling now my heart is frozen All the phoses and the growsin Happy and after native in my soul I prayed on the unmovable Yeah clinging to the Adam's of rock Seasons seas just smooth signs of change I can't see now she so sexy Now that light is so I can see The storm bring strange loyalties and skies I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower That you made with plastic power Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away (Here we go again) (That's electric) (That's electric) Helicopters fly over the beach Same time everyday, same routine Clear target in the summer when skies are blue It's part of the noise when winter comes It reverberates in my lungs Nature's corrupted in factories far away (that's electric) Your love's like rhinestones, falling from the sky (have electric) With future pixels in factories far away (have electric) Your love's like rhinestones, falling from the sky (have eletric) With future pixels in factories far away
