Shiny Things

Let's not worry about images

Let's not worry about mind control

Let's stop talking about prisoners

All against an invisible wall

Let's not feel anything at all

And keep it inside your chest all night

Let's not worry about goin' extinct

We'll be preserved on a shelf somewhere.

Give us mirrors for company

Lock all the windows and doors when you leave

It's as if nothing happened

As if it was enough

Think we worked awfully gladly

Thinking of shiny things

Wasted a lot to get there

Burned all the bridges off

The last of the pterodactyls

Has headed out for the sea

Build us a new perpetuity

Tell us we've nothing to fear from ourselves

Now that we're painted so colorfully

We'll be replaced by someone somewhere soon

It's as if nothing happened

As if it was enough

Think we're all going blindly

Thinking of shiny things

Wasted a lot to get there

Burned all the bridges off

The last of the pterodactyls

Has headed out for the sea
