UNDER THAT WHEEL

A BURNING COUNTRY, NAKED SOULS
WORLD-TITLE FIGHTS, THEY RUN FOR THE GOLD
YOU CHANGE THE STATION, LOOK AT THAT BLOOD
HEARTS OF FIRE, PRAY FOR A GOD
A DYING BABY, SURROUNDED BY FLIES
THE HOPELESS STARE OF EMPTY EYES
YOU'RE AT THE SAME TIME, HELPLESS AND SAFE
T.V., YOU'LL SEND US TO AN EARLY GRAVE

DON'T EAT THOSE FLOWERS HONEY FORBIDDEN FRUIT
DON'T TOUCH THOSE BLOSSOMS BABY THAT AIN'T TOO GOOD
HOW IS YOUR BURGER HONEY? KETCHUP IS GONE
LOOK AT THAT BLOOD BABY! YOU'RE FULL, AND YAWN

HOW DOES IT FEEL, WHEN ALL THAT BLOOD RUNS DOWN THE SCREEN?
HOW DOES IT FEEL, WHEN YOU BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE?
HOW DOES IT FEEL, WHEN YOU ARE HAUNTED BY YOUR CONSCIENCE?
HOW DOES IT FEEL, HOW DOES IT FEEL, UNDER THAT WHEEL?

EMERALD LIGHT IN YOUR HORNY EYES
YOUR FROZEN HEART, YOUR DRUNKEN NIGHTS
I AM AFRAID TO SEE YOU THAT WAY
CAN'T FIND A REASON, WHY I SHOULD STAY
LOST IN THE SYSTEM, YOU'RE CAUGHT IN THE MAZE
THE ROOT OF YOUR SADNESS, I'M NOT TOO AMAZED
DOUBTS OF EXISTENCE, THEY'RE BOTHERING YOU
SOMETIMES IT'S BETTER WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW THE TRUTH

DON'T EAT THOSE FLOWERS HONEY FORBIDDEN FOOD
LOOK AT THOSE CANNIBALS LOVE DON'T THAT FEEL GOOD?
LOOK AT THAT POLITICIAN A PERFECT SMILE
DON'T KILL YOURSELF HONEY NOT FOR A WHILE

HOW DOES IT FEEL, WHEN ALL THAT BLOOD RUNS DOWN THE SCREEN?
HOW DOES IT FEEL, WHEN YOU BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE?
HOW DOES IT FEEL, TO HAVE NO CRYSTAL CLEAR CONSCIENCE?
HOW DOES IT FEEL, HOW DOES IT FEEL, UNDER THAT WHEEL?
