Awe/Arc

[Verse 1]
Surf's up, festooned
With grey seals and bellies split
A way from the shore line
Slow drive, leader of America
Black cars and sleek lines
Dark glass, silent as a tomb
Crowds line the streets like
Gasping, magnets with cataracts, they're watching

[Chorus]
Motorcade smoking on its back in the sun
Twisted and humming, twisted and humming
Rubber tyres spinning and expanding aloud
Glass in a rainbow, glass in a rainbow
The driver crawls free and he starts writhing around
The president's moaning, the president's moaning
He says, "Shock and awe, baby, just takes all of my time
God is my witness, I need a witness, like..."

[Verse 2]
Sun roof, the First Lady
Half in and half is on the road
Seat belt clings on
And sweat runs up his neck and spine
Hands shake and ears ring
Blood pools by the bodyguard
Wheels slow, the fumes die
There's nobody left, he's alone and counting

[Chorus]
Motorcade smoking on its back in the sun
Twisted and humming, twisted and humming
Rubber tyres spinning and expanding aloud
Glass in a rainbow, glass in a rainbow
The driver crawls free and he starts writhing around
The president's moaning, the president's moaning
He says, "Shock and awe, baby, just takes all of my time
God is my witness, I need a witness, like..."

[Coda]
Oh, I've really done it now
Man in grey, he's strapped in and he's upside down
The wreckage of a limo
Crying, "Oh, I've really done it now"

[Outro]
Oh, I've really done it now
