The Frequency -

The terror of the view

The emptiness of this room

Always writing against this truth

In the way that a painter

Must have a surface to hit

The paint is flying now

Breaking the silence at the speed of sound

Hitting the frequency

She’s reaching back at me

Warm and loud

Warm and loud

Beautiful demons fly out

And we’re fighting for our lives

To fill the corners up with light

Black spell casting against them now

In the way that a bullet

Will go until it is stopped

And all the medicine

Went to my head again

Late last night

My bed of saccharine

Bad amphetamine

I was lit from within

Burning with means and ends

And the city life is like a sugar high

Knocking me out, keeping me wired

It’s incredible

Unsteady chemicals

Come and go the ebb and flow

When the measure of your work

Is the measure of your worth

Then you better make it work

There’s some people I could name

But it’s not the time or place

To split hairs with the guys downstairs

They’ll get their fair share I’m sure

The frequency is gonna take us there

And the city kids

The angry with-it kids

Hate everything the first time

It’s incredible

The kind of chemicals

Knocking around in my mind

In the winter of my night I found a desperate kind of light

And nothing comes without a fight

You want to know

Where the good thoughts grow

But you ought to know

Where all the good thoughts go

You can’t afford to miss a day

Call in sick, you better stay that way

Stay that way

And the city life is just some other guy

Knocking me out, wasting my time

Upper-middle class infomaniac

You will get yours I will get mine

So get in line

The frequency is fine
