lyrics

so you think your love is stuck in an ivory box
and her cats are feral and her life is lost
so you think it's true birds can eat out of their cage
good old folks still sing the great songs of the good old age

and the seals are squealing at the shoreline
and the seaman hooks his catch
the eels are squealing on the downside
of the deep blue oceans chest

speak for a while child, don't be a wild child
regress
soon all the animals will all be wild animals
spaceman left

and she thinks
that she'll have to break the bars real soon
and that all of us are doomed to see
the fire, greed, burning ashes, the building crashes on the children

he lives in isolation a-culture with no smile
white walls, white voice, a white ghost does reside
in his mind the fireworks launch, but they never explode
he just got this strange, strange magnetic pull
to implode into nothing

and the seals are squealing at the shoreline
and the fisherman kills the catch
the eels are squealing on the inside
of my secret lover's chest

speak for a while child, don't be a wild child
regress
soon all the animals will all be wild animals
spaceman left

and she thinks
that she'll have to break the bars real soon
and that all of us are doomed to see
the fire, greed, burning ashes, the building crashes on the children

and the seals are squealing at the shoreline
and the seaman hooks his catch
the eels are squealing on the inside
of my secret lover's chest

speak for a while child, don't be a wild child
regress
soon all the animals will all be wild animals
spaceman left

that she'll have to break the bars real soon
and that all of us are doomed to see
the fire, greed, burning ashes, the building crashes on the children
