Like a rock, like a planet
Like a fucking atom bomb
I'll remain unperturbed by the joy and the madness
that I encounter everywhere I turn,
I've seen it all before ,
in books and maga zine s,
like a twitch before dyin g,
like a pornographic sea,
there's a flower behind the windo w,
there's an ugly laughing man,
like a hummingbird in silen ce,
like the blood on my door,
it's the gener a - - tor
oh yeah, oh yeah, like the blood on my door ,
wash me clean and I will run until I reach the shore,
I've known it all along
like the bone und er m y ski n,
like actors in a pho togr aph,
like paper in the wi nd,
there's a hammer by the wind ow,
there's a knife on the fl oor,
like turbines in dar kness ,
like the blood on my door,
it's the gener a - - to r
