Steam Scenery - wax bottles

Showing you the smoke machine

And going on about how it runs

Words were fading in and out

'Cause it was holding you like a socket holds the plug

Breathe slow

There were rooms like this in grandmother’s house

They let you on the stage so you could see the workings of the show

All the little bits of tape

And the plywood backs to flat, unbroken homes

Lights low and it was all wrapped in the steam scenery

It couldn’t get you

But didn’t seem impossible

It made you feel so alive and of a lifetime

The lie wasn’t the lie

And all barriers were curtains to see behind

It really isn’t so broke when it’s all wrapped in the steam scenery

It couldn’t get you

But didn’t seem impossible

It made you feel so alive and of a lifetime

The lie wasn’t the lie

And all barriers were curtains

It made you feel so alive and of a lifetime

The lie wasn’t the lie

And all barriers

And all barriers were curtains to see behind
