Lyrics for My Defense (1989)



The plastic world has won
The model turned out to be stronger
The last ship has gone cold
The last flashlight is tired
And clumps of memory are stuck in my throat

Oh - my defense
A glimmer of light in an unseeing world
Oh - my defense
A mournful little ball of an absurd world
A mournful little ball of a cheap world

The plastic world has won
The cardboard alarm rejoices
Who needs a slice of the July sky?

Oh - my defense
A glimmer of light in a glass eye
Oh - my defense
A mournful little ball of glass world
A mournful little ball of an absurd world

The plastic world has won
The model turned out to be stronger
The last ship has gone cold
The last flashlight is tired
And clumps of memory are stuck in my throat

Oh - my defense
A mournful little ball of an unseeing world
Oh - my defense
A glimmer of light of a glass world

Oh - my defense
