Nice Things

western wall's a jumbo screen

at the gate, there's an automated teller machine

sir, empty your pockets, please

before you file through

the king and queen foreclosed on their crowns

the joker laughed and made his rounds

he was drunk, carrying on, self-satisfied

western walls are closing in

are you happy? he said

are you rich or are you dead?

dreaming the dream

singing songs of another time

is your gold so strangely acquired?

has your name become known and desired?

have you degenerated?

are you running out of time?

do you want nice things?

sure, you do

do you call nice things your own?

do you want nice things?

sure, you do

do you call nice things your own?

do you wanna

do you wanna feel safe?

(4x)

wanna feel safe

climb the wall before the fall

(6x)
