  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 toppled 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
