The car is on fire, and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows

The government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn

We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death

The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

It went like this:

The buildings tumbled in on themselves
Mothers clutching babies
Picked through the rubble
And pulled out their hair

The skyline was beautiful on fire
All twisted metal stretching upwards
Everything washed in a thin orange haze

I said, "Kiss me, you're beautiful -
These are truly the last days"

You grabbed my hand
And we fell into it
Like a daydream
Or a fever

We woke up one morning and fell a little further down
For sure it's the valley of death

I open up my wallet
And it's full of blood

I'm predicting a match-up of this album and My World 2.0 for the finals.

elevator music is underrated in a society with popular radio like this one

@Necharsian If you're referring to Life Your Skinny Fists, you could make quite the case for it.

Maybe this is just linked to my hatred of post rock, after two listens of this album, I still really don't get these guys. It just seems like agorophobic elevator music. There are some points where it speeds up, but for the most part, it's WAYYY too slow.

I certainly like this album more than Antennas to Heaven, but then again, that's not saying much.

Masterpiece indeed.

Although not as good as another one of their albums...

F♯A♯∞ is a true masterpiece.

I own one of the very first vinyl pressings, hand-assembled by members of the band!
