[Verse 1]
When you get back on the M train
Watch the city mutate
Where do you go when your mind starts
To lose its perfected shape?
Virtuosic, idealistic
Musing a fall from grace
I guess the dead just go on living
At the darkest edge of space
[Verse 2]
When you get back home to St. Cloud
Watch the new world project
A rousing image, scorched earth swinging
Supernatural and complex
And I might show up in a white dress
Turn reluctance on its ear
If the dead just go on living
Well, there's nothing left to fear
[Verse 3]
If you burn slow, burning slow
On your own roof, yell what you know
Burning slow, burning slow
Burning slow, burning slow
[Verse 4]
And when when I go, when I go
Look back at me, embers aglow
When I go, when I go
When I go, when I go
