about

A dark nod to the 1980s from The Surgon.

lyrics

Don't let the world fall down on you
even though it's heavy and breaks your heart
we've been building places to set us apart
cross deserts the patrons play their part

Like heathens in the headlights
we've been talking both sides from the start
it happened in the 80s
a fallacy we painted of broken hearts

Back-to-back we've got it going on
a weir's to the wall invitation i call
the strings that blame the puppets
for shooting up the masses
while grinding at their teeth
and drinking from the well

we build another palace to set it all on fire
then grow another forest
to cut the deadwood down

we build another palace to set it all on fire
then grow another forest
to cut the deadwood down

Like heathens in the headlights
we've been talking both sides from the start
it happened in the 80s
a fallacy we painted of broken hearts
