lyrics

Glass made of emeralds and light
Sapphire blanket of sky
All of the trees made of petrified wood
And all of the creatures do as they should

Say you’ve got something that is gonna come and mess it all up
Say that it’s true
Tell me all your secrets, tell me a lie, anything
Put me in a mood
He said or maybe she said that we used to need darkness to see the light
Well, I hope they are right

All of the people are so smooth
None of the hairs on their heads ever move
Wearing their clothing of sheep diamond wool
It’s never too hot out, it’s never too cool

No one ever speaks
No one’s ever ill
Only yawning cries
No one ever dies
Wearing suits made of marble-cut
Just to sympathize with amethyst ties
Everyone is clean, no one ever sings
Same color cars, no need for art
Think we’re so smart
Revolutionaries in the back room
Say it’s coming soon
Hold it in my hand, try to understand
Just a piece of land, water and sand
Every since the birth, running from the earth
What we used to be, you say there’s no need
We think we’re so smart
