Jetwelder - A Wakeup Call For The City (2023)

This is the place where diamonds go
To turn back into coal
This is the place to learn about
The science of holes
Everybody driving in their cars
They’re turning right into Colfax
And when their tail lights fade
They’re not coming back
Not need to wonder why
Their lives just aren’t as good as getting high
From Pifler’s to the Dollar Tree
It’s fun to steal from the king
And anywhere is the same as nowhere
And anything is the same as nothing
We just need a dark warm room
Where we can smoke and smoke
Where there’s a groovy parking lot
Where time is just another joke
All your Pie In The Sky
It really can’t compare with getting high
Great Googly My-Oh-My
Their lives are not as good as getting high
Their faces look just like the moon
Those sores won’t be healing soon
You’re waking up to a harsh alarm
Blaring a scary tune
Open up your eyes and see
Those pricks shut down the Dollar Tree
That old abandoned Burger King
I can’t let that happen to me
I
Can’t
Let
That
Happen
The world you can supply
Simply can’t compete with getting high
No need to mention why
Their lives are not as good as getting high
So sorry we disturbed you
You can go back to sleep now
Safe. Nighty night.
Safe and restful
You can go back you can go back to sleep now
Safe. Nighty night.
Never mind the alarm
You can go back to sleep now
Safe. Nighty night.
Safe and restful
Go back to sleep nighty night
Safe. Nighty night.
