lyrics

"Blunt Instruments" (D. Crommie)

This is the brutal beat
The pulse of urban beauty
We play with voodoo sticks
And talk with electricity
You can take my breath away
But you can’t have my mind
A world of syncopated secrets
Home of scheduled time

Survival is the key
In a world where
Love can be a demolition derby

This is the brutal beat
We’ve been through all the hoops
Playing with blunt instruments
Like industrial-military troops
You can hold my frozen breath
While I take my daily poison
As we leave the animal cages
For lands of shattered reason

Survival is the key
In a world where
Love can be a demolition derby
