[00:11.570]The antique people are down in the dungeons
[00:16.070]Run by machines and afraid of the tax
[00:20.050]Their heads in the grave and their hands on their eyes
[00:24.530]Hauling their hearts around circular tracks
[00:28.530]Pretending forever their masquerade towers
[00:33.010]Are not really riddled with widening cracks
[00:40.080]And I wave goodbye to iron
[00:59.290]And smile hello to the air
[01:07.640]The velocity addicts explode on the highways
[01:22.640]Ignoring the journey and moving so fast
[01:51.440]Their nerves fall apart and they gasp but can't breathe
[02:01.890]They run from the cops of the skeleton past
[02:05.290]Petrified by tradition in a nightmare they stagger
[02:10.850]Into nowhere at all and they look up aghast
[02:18.780]And I wave goodbye to speed
[02:21.680]And smile hello to a rose
[02:35.920]The king and the queen in their castle of billboards
[02:41.470]Sleepwalk down the hallways dragging behind
[02:47.320]All their possessions and transient treasures
[02:53.200]As they go to worship the electronic shrine
[03:00.960]On which is playing the late late commercial
[03:21.980]In that hollowest house of the opulent blind
[03:34.630]And I wave goodbye to Mammon
[03:51.490]And smile hello to a stream
[04:06.580]The vaudeville generals cavort on the stage
[04:17.550]And shatter their audience with submachine guns
[04:55.430]And Freedom and Violence the acrobat clowns
[05:06.400]Do a balancing act on the graves of our sons
[05:12.830]While the tapdancing Emperor sings War is peace
[05:16.700]And Love the Magician disappears in the fun
[05:22.070]And I wave goodbye to murder
[05:25.750]And smile hello to the rain
[05:39.780]The bloodless husbands are jesters who listen
[05:50.170]Like sheep to the shrieks and commands of their wives
[06:02.200]And the men who aren't men leave the women alone
[06:31.600]See them all faking love on a bed made of knives
[06:43.210]Afraid to discover or trust in their bodies
[06:46.950]And in secret divorce they will never survive
[06:51.620]And I wave goodbye to ashes
[07:10.260]And smile hello to a girl
[07:20.120]The antique people are fading out slowly
[07:28.260]Like newspapers flaming in mind suicide
[08:02.690]Godless and sexless directionless loons
[08:08.110]Their sham sandcastles dissolve in the tide
[08:11.800]They put on their deathmasks and compromise daily
[08:15.710]The new children will live for the elders have died
[08:21.680]And I wave goodbye to America
[08:24.810]And smile hello to the world
