he's pleased to meet you underneath the horse

in the cathedral with the glass stained black

singing sweet high notes that echo back

to destroy their master



may be a long time til you get the call-up

but it's sure as fate and hard as your luck

no one'll know where you are



it's just a brief smile crossing your face

running speed trials still standing in place



when the socket's not a shock enough

you little child what makes you think you're tough

when all the people you think you're above

they all know what's the matter



you're such a pinball, yeah, you know it's true

there's always something you come back running to

to follow the path of no resistance



it's just a brief smile crossing your face

running speed trials standing in place



it's just a brief smile crossing your face

running speed trials all over the place
