lyrics

6am
I'm hurtling home again
A sad device at the precipice
Of something fake intelligent, my friend

Still i'm not through
I'll still take these walks with you
You're the story that nowhere went
Become the current event

I've been shooting yr pop junk up again
Strung out on the feeling you sold me
Hold hands, this is our refrain

I'm not hurt
Sell me love again
If you call it love, i’m hurtling home insane

And we are all just fingerprints of some sublime hand
That closes and opens
The sign that something was stolen

But no sign of life
In the statues that used to be my friends
So make love to the mannequins
Or sell me something

I've been shooting the pop junk up again
Strung out on the feeling you sold me
Hang on, here's the old refrain

I'm not hurt
Sell me love again
If you call it love, yr kiss is fair trade
I'm not hurt
I'm hurtling home insane

My darling, i'm trying
I'm buying into you again

Coz i've been shooting the pop junk up again
Lost love, it's a feeling you sold me
Anything to feel less lonely
Anything to feel less homely

It's 6am
And we're hurtling home again
So we can begin fair trade
Insane
Fair trade
Insane
