A Future in Noise Lyrics by Tom Verlaine

Dreamtime

0

You're a graduate of the Reemco School of Numbness
And you walk in here with your fifteen degrees
Telling everyone you knew they must be some kind of puppet
And how the big mirage it is your specialty
Who can believe you?

I gotta keep about a mile from you
I gotta keep about a mile from you
Arm's length that won't do
I gotta keep about a mile from you

Kindness to strangers, cruelty to your friends ...
A new czar in the nothing regime
Twenty miles of hallways of burning glass
That's just where that kind of stuff will end
Who can believe you?

I gotta keep about a mile from you
I gotta keep about a mile from you
Arm's length that won't do
I gotta keep about a mile from you

I'm so happy now to see you watering the rocks
I suppose it'll bring you a very special yield
What does it feel like to carry that around for oh so long
The darkest and the thickest kind of shield
No one believes you

I gotta keep about a mile from you
I gotta keep about a mile from you
Arm's length that won't do
I gotta keep about a mile from you

New czar in the Nothing Regime
New czar in the Nothing Regime
New czar in the Nothing Regime
I gotta keep about a mile from you
New czar in the Nothing Regime
I gotta keep about a mile from you
I gotta keep about a mile from you
I gotta keep about a mile from you
