Lyrics

White Noise White Heat

I was born with a trust
That didn't survive the white noise of the lies
The white heat of injustice has taken my eyes
I just wanna get high

I am the great collector
I tally catalogue and hold to the light
Forgotten scenes of love
Some of them were mine
All mine

I pick the broken dreams that hang in city centre trees
All the love made urgently that gathers in the gutters of your mind

Some of it was mine
All mine

I was born with a trust
That didn't survive the white noise of the lies
The white heat of injustice has taken my eyes
I just wanna get high

I was born with a trust
That didn't survive the white noise of the lies
The white heat of injustice has taken my eyes
I just wanna get high

I tried to save the world silly boy by sullen girl with love as a given
Driven by my certainty
That they'd never beat it out of me
But who am I some Blarney Mantovani with a lullaby when the sky is falling in
I believe I'm giving in

Oh, the coldness of space with a suit that could do it

I was born with a trust
That didn't survive the white noise of the lies
The white heat of injustice has taken my eyes
I just wanna get high

I was born with a trust
That didn't survive the white noise of the lies
The white heat of injustice has taken my eyes
I just wanna get high
