Chromium

Silver needles
Golden eagles
Frightened faces
Basket casesJags and riches
Queens and witches
Electric mantras
And tight-fitting dreamsNever been so high
Never been so low
Never been so highGilded flowers, long-lost hours
Morning programs with fake suntans
Neo-maniac in the cul-de-sac
Otherwise it's this ennuiChromium platin'
All this waiting brings me down
Suffocatin'
All those colors bring me aroundBroken records
Faded labels
Songs to sing to
When you were youngA tattooed pierced arm
Fresh and perfumed
Switch your prison
Fly awayAnd jewels on your fingers
Tears in your dresses
Fabulous mansions
And damp little roomsThis one intrigued me
This one will grow
Purity sleeping
Reality looms
