Songtext von Blank Screens

We wake up in the west in pieces on blank screens a requiem for radio we've been singing in our sleep the chorus will laugh it off with hearts buried in the dream singing softly there's a fire in the east tonight that no one's putting out watch the doves as they scatter as they shout each other down and the body politic swears oh it couldn't be our fault with soldiers marching they'll laugh and they'll dance as they pull at your strings with white rooms and white lies and with black and white dreams they'll paint you a picture they'll sell you a scene electric and alive the canopy breathes there's a world at our window and a swan song on our lips and each of our self-interest sins slaughter faith's indulgences all the silence of the lambs all the chill of the scientist they bleed us like this they'll laugh and they'll dance as they pull at your strings with white rooms and white lies and with black and white dreams they'll paint you a picture they'll sell you a scene electric and alive the canopy breathes fall in and out of love and sleep silently but i never said that love was free and i never said that love was cheap
