‌when all the furnaces exploded by Godspeed You! Black Emperor Lyrics

I built this machine with a door and a chair
I floated it to a consortium of charms with investors but it didn't watch
When all the furnaces exploded, we were brushing our teeth
The place went up like a bad cartoon hairdo
And I staggered to the runway I stormed a plane
I said I said I said I had I had I had I had cancer
I couldn't hold our food, the credits rolled, the lights came up, everyone wiped their eyes, the lights came up, the credits rolled, I couldn't hold our food, I had
I drifted in and out of consciousness
The horrible weight of the airplane buried at the back of my head
Dead scroll in my mouth stinking up the joint
I took a look around
Everyone dead, all the buildings abandoned
Took a lot out of me
The debris, you don't know how we're dead
Chewed off my own legs
It sounded like that
The cap alarms
People laying down
There are women checked out
The same, the fat cop had died
The fat cop had died
I said the fat cop had died
I said I said the fat cop had died
Real people lay dead I said
