Awe/Arc

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Surf's up, festooned With grey seals and bellies split A way from the shore line Slow drive, leader of America Black cars and sleek lines Dark glass, silent as a tomb Crowds line the streets like Gasping, magnets with cataracts, they're watching [Chorus] Motorcade smoking on its back in the sun Twisted and humming, twisted and humming Rubber tyres spinning and expanding aloud Glass in a rainbow, glass in a rainbow The driver crawls free and he starts writhing around The president's moaning, the president's moaning He says, "Shock and awe, baby, just takes all of my time God is my witness, I need a witness, like..." [Verse 2] Sun roof, the First Lady Half in and half is on the road Seat belt clings on And sweat runs up his neck and spine Hands shake and ears ring Blood pools by the bodyguard Wheels slow, the fumes die There's nobody left, he's alone and counting [Chorus] Motorcade smoking on its back in the sun Twisted and humming, twisted and humming Rubber tyres spinning and expanding aloud Glass in a rainbow, glass in a rainbow The driver crawls free and he starts writhing around The president's moaning, the president's moaning He says, "Shock and awe, baby, just takes all of my time God is my witness, I need a witness, like..." [Coda] Oh, I've really done it now Man in grey, he's strapped in and he's upside down The wreckage of a limo Crying, "Oh, I've really done it now" [Outro] Oh, I've really done it now
