White Noise White Heat - elbow

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
