Flash Delirium

Flash Delirium - MGMT

Mild apprehension

Blank dreams of the coming fun

Distort the odds of a turnaround

Gut screams out next to none

So turn it on

Tune it in

And stay inert

You say “I've got the backbone”

The back way to escape the gun

Climbing a tree with a missing limb

And not saving anyone

And now it hurts

To stay at home

And see

FLASH

The mirror ball's throwing mold

You can't get a grip if there's nothing to hold

See the flash catch a white lily laugh and wilt

But if you must smash a glass first fill it to the hilt

PLANTS

As far as i know are still'

Still bending toward the light

And if we dance

Until the heart explodes

It'll make this place ignite

And even if this hall collapses

I can stand by my pillar of hope it's just

A case of Flash delirium

Here's a growing culture

Deep inside a corpse

Ages stuck together

Takin it to the source

Timeless desperation

Pictures on a screen scream

“hey people' what does it mean ”

Comfort keeps us nice

So quick to donate everything (nothing arrives)

Die wolken drifting blinding smiles circling (einkreisen)

But time's tingling spines

Attaching hands to floor

The rosy-tinted flash

The hot dog's getting cold

And you'll never be as good as the Rolling Stones

Watch the birds in the airport gathering dirt

Crowd the clean magazine chick lifting up her skirt

Why close one eye and try to

Pledge allegiance to the sun

When plastic ghosts start terrorizing everyone

Geometric troops aligning

Carried up to the burial mounds

My earthbound heart is heavy

Your heartbeat keeps things light

With the violence forever threatening the night

And even if this hall collapses

I can stand by my pillar of hope and trust

Lines when I close my eyes and just
