lyrics

there's an angel at my turntable
& the devil on my cd
i will speak to you when i'm able
to rationalise our misery
all the traces of our past footsteps
will be driven by the snow
if my shoes arrive on your doorstep
they had nowhere else to go

samuel johnson warned me
my existence is less to be enjoyed than be endured
you're my beautiful & dangerous disease
& i don't want to be cured

glory glory hell it's hot in here
someone loosen off his tie
we've got some serious bad games to play
& some little things to do before we die
all god's angels will be heartbroken
they stand in line & wait their turn
all their options are left wide open
they can crash or they can burn

samuel johnson warned me
my existence is less to be enjoyed than be endured
you're my beautiful & dangerous disease
& i don't want to be cured

i can keep your ghost at arms distance
by flicking over to the news
all these scenes of grief & royal torture
are all that's keeping me amused
we are weeds that grow in god's garden
he uproots us one by one
a vain attempt to stop us strangling the roses
& who are we to end his fun?

samuel johnson warned me
my existence is less to be enjoyed than be endured
you're my beautiful & dangerous disease
& i don't want to be cured
