Fizzle And Crack by The Gifted Children Lyrics

Standing in the doorway of the new century
Point at the horizon but never go there
Instead -
Bulk food and trinkets
Too many buildings
Drunken phone calls
And smalltalk crosswords with you

Burn this mountain of unsent letters
Step up and out of your air-raid drill desk protection
But -
The alarm clock is ringing
Lightbulbs imploding
Ill-concealed moments of infidelity
I ape you and you ape me
