lyrics

Walking down the narrow street of 40th and Main
I catch a rushing cab
With nowhere worthwhile to go I say go down the road
He grins an evil smile
I take a look around as the world changes shape
The acid melts my brain
The meter stops and it says 50 bucks are due
He takes some coke as pay

And this creates the dream
Beauty in horror lies unseen
And if you want, he said
I'll show you what it means
To be free

Injection number one
Are you even having fun?
Your eyes glazed over with a light
Injection number two
You question what is true
Your eyes lose sight of what is right

And this creates the dream
Beauty in horror lies unseen
And if you want, he said
I'll show you what it means
To be free

Infection on your hands
Another dying man
His body starts to rot outside
Police show at the scene
If there's proof that things are mean
It surely lies in those dead eyes

And this creates the dream
Beauty in horror lies unseen
And if you act like all is well
Perhaps I'll keep you from hell
