Awe/Arc

[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
