The Abomination

Art In Manila


When i was a girl 
I witnessed an accident
A man struck 
By an automobile
He fell 
Through the atmosphere
Like a rag doll 
With magical powers
Or a spaceship 
In a meteor shower
We're all on board, shout 
When we land it'll be better

But the abomination's on my right
And the left side's 
Just trying to keep up

You sent me my illness
But that's what i call it
Like a stick for your nest
The red bird brought it 
With a wink and a smile
I have no choice
But to dream 
Of a dark country road
That leads me away 
From this great pain

"Oh, is there more?" 
Asked the woman
Struck by lightning 
On the kitchen floor
While she prays to the Lord

The abomination's on my right
And the left side's 
Just trying to keep up
The abomination's on my right
And the left side's 
Just trying to keep up
The abomination's on my right
And the left side's 
Just trying to keep up

(We won't keep up)
(We won't keep up)
The abomination's on my right
And the left side's 
Just trying to keep up
(We won't keep up)
(We won't keep up)
