Tom Verlaine - A Future in NoiseLyrics

You're a graduate of the Reemco School of Numbness And you walk in here with your fifteen degrees Telling everyone you knew they must be some kind of puppet And how the big mirage - it is your specialty I gotta keep about a mile from you I gotta keep about a mile from you Arm's length just won't do I gotta keep about a mile from you Your kindness to strangers, your cruelty to your friends A new czar in the nothing regime Twenty miles of hallways of burning glass That's just where that kind of stuff will end I'm so happy now to see you watering the rocks I suppose it'll bring you a very special yield What does it feel like to carry that around for oh so long? The darkest and the thickest kind of shield No one believes you New czar in the nothing regime I gotta keep about a mile from you
