Like a rock,

like a planet,

Like a fucking atom bomb,

I'll remain unperturbed by the joy and the madness

that i encounter everywhere I turn

I've seen it all along

In book and magazines

like a twitch before dying

like a pornographic sea

there's a flower behind the window

there's an ugly laughing man

like a hummingbird in silence

like the blood on the door

it's the generator

oh yeah, oh yeah, like the blood on my door

wash me clean and I will run

until i reach the shore

I've known it all along

like the bone under my skin

like actors in a photograph

like paper in the wind

there's a hammer by the window

there's a knife on the floor

like turbines in darkness

like the blood on my door

it's the generator
