Megahurts - Chemlab

The earth is such a long way down

Watching the evening slide away

Darkness slips across its face

The distant lights all fade away

They slowly winking off and out

Pieces are coming apart

With a static hiss

Can’t see the stream through all of this

Can’t escape the slow-lo grind

Desperate slow decline

That takes its time

And slowly takes apart your mind

As the signal comes in

And the lights decay

Put the hollow screen up to my face

Shed my diamond skin

And let the outside in

Lights blurring down the tunnel

Bar-code the windshield

Dazzled strips floro-aftertaste

Ionocrome

I’m all alone and drenched in drone

A scratchy wind-up gramophone

It’s such a long way down

It’s such an awful long way home

As the signal comes in

And the lights go out

Put my face up to the screen

Shed my diamond skin

To let the light pour in
