Smile for the camera flash
Blinding
You see shooting stars in the carpet
The threads are unwinding
The clocks are unticking
The boxes are moving
Cause something is kicking inside of them
Your brain's not a pile up at spaghetti junction
Your brain is three pounds of pork
Riddled with conscience
Your brain is a brain and that's it
There's nothing to explain

And by the way
Your heart is no reason for staying in bed
Your heart's just a muscle
It pumps bad ideas from the gut to the head
Til you can't tell what's love and what's sugar and e-number bile instead

Smile for the camera flash
Blinding
You see the heat death of the universe
Time is unwinding
The baby is kicking
If you listen close you can hear
Something ticking inside of them
Thine is the kingdom of wires and bone
Your wardenless prison
Your forever home
You can live on the edges
And look through the gaps in the fences
But honestly that's about all

So what do you say, honey
While we are here
Let's make the best of this cosmic disaster
Tug at my nerves
Tug at my nerves
Tug at my nerves and make the church bells chime

Smile for the camera flash
Blinding
You see it all, all of creation
It stretches out just like a beautiful ballgown
A tuxedo perfectly tailored to every inch of you
I've only danced maybe twice in my life
But I'll make an exception for now, for tonight
As the heavens beneath us
Convulse and contract to be near us
Don't tell me there's no turning back
