Songtexte The Resurrection Men - Thea Gilmore

They're coming with their stories
And they're coming with their wine
They've got a copy of a showband tune
And an old no-smoking sign
A map of every person's life
A line in every chart
They've got a kitchen knife and a power cable
Poised against each heart
They say
"We are your morphine vision
We are your TV screen
We are your chat show host
We are your magazine
We've got trace elements
In each fashion, every trend
Let's end this story again
See if you do it all again
The resurrection band"
They were watching all those people
In the corporate ocean's tide
The choreography of commerce
The backhanders and the lies
They were raising all the figures
All the dollars, all the dreams
They say you can always tell a suicide
By the length of the scream
And
"We are your morphine vision
We are your other half
We are your healthy living
We are your epitaph
We've got your second chances
Dressed in an accident
You want the next big bang
Then you can just send
The resurrection band"
They're coming with their bank books
They're collecting every fare
From burning nights in Nagasaki
Frozen days in Val d'Isère
And now the walls crumble
Round Downing Street and Capitol Hill
It's only murder if you twist the knife
With intent to kill
And they're coming with their butane
They're coming with their signs
From the black and white division
The bloody wars and their front lines
They've bound the flames of degradation
To a mariachi band
'Cause the crime's always committed
Using someone else's hand
And
"We are your morphine vision
We are your sleepless nights
We are your catechism
We are your final rites
We've got your weakness pegged
Each break and every bend
You throw a tragedy
We'll always attend
The resurrection band"
