Fluorescent (The Total Orchestra)

(Gaia sips the drink of artificial red
Carefully served by a flourescent sky.

She swallows the light
Only to throw up shadows minutes later
On a broken public toilet.

Inside her
The neonism is fed until it burst with colour
Unleashing the brightest shadow of all times.

In the street
Metallic streams wash the concrete shores
Gaia is wet and sick
But she doesn't care anymore.

Hair sticks to her face as she screams
Being absorbed by colours.

Now she's the brightest one of all
But no one's there to see)

A noise is released; high-pitched
Voices, the rumbling of tin and
Machines, devilish decibels.

Open my eyes, see what I expected; red
Melted plastic, yellow neon, pompous sunset over Lucky Beach.

When everything abates at last
The universal glue cements wrong
To true, keeps
The tongues in place
The weightlessness from life
The total orchestra concluded.
