lyrics

Snowflakes spin and fall like drunken dancers
Hey, commando, this evening has been canceled

And the assassins laughed
As you felt for your hands
They were wired like a suitcase bomb
And your breath was cold and your neck was red
And they'd shout

There's a fire in the middle of the town
So put your medications down
Let it murder you before you let it out
And I said who's your entertainment now?

Blameless impressions of the living
They bled what you'd offered to give them

So why don't you stake out your claim to fame
You can call it personality
Why can't I fold
Why can't I just leave this crowd

There's a fire in the middle of the town
So put your medications down
Let it murder you before you let it out
And I said who's your entertainment now?
How could you lead me to the edge of the plane
To let me wander when I couldn't walk straight
But it's all left me but the longing and the doubt
And I said who's your entertainment now?
