Lyrics

More Heat Than Light

The imperial disaster's in a furious decline
They've been burning down the ghettos
Burning down the ghettos
Crossing all of the lines
And everyone gets so excited, as it all starts to rise

All the time, all the time radiating
More heat than light
More heat than light

They've been spitting on the mirage in the back of the van
If he can do it, if he can do it, if he can do it
I think anybody can
They've been polishing the dolphin
You've never seen a beast so bright

All the time, all the time radiating
More heat than light
More heat than light

All you funny little men
With that fever in your eyes
You say you put them with the others, put them with the others
You should never analyse
He fucked the watermelon women like a thief in the night

All the time, all the time radiating
More heat than light
More heat than light
