lyrics

The hard wind howls through dark museum halls
Where sick and headless statues stand
Where you realize there’s no sense in trying
And where the poet and the painter are condemned
The clown is crying in the unsettled night
Cracks purfle the windows of his trailer

Get outta here if you can
This is just a burned down land
Get outta here, get outta here

A biting light hangs on the edge of town
The sky is violent, the streets are empty
And someone is smoking my white maiden skin
The ancient books are burning in the desert sun
And healing became so senseless
That senselessness overshadows it all

Get outta here if you can
This is just a burned down land
Get outta here, get outta here

They burned Peyote and sold cheap pictures
Of the execution of the old and weak shaman
A girl with numb eyes and hazy lips
Offers dead and colorless flowers
And down on the lonesome crossroad
The officer hast lost his eyes

Get outta here if you can
This is just a burned down land
Get outta here, get outta here
