lyrics

who affects the sunset?
sick man in a mask flies a white flag
i see crystal cup
i make dirty fingers
dig out the books and lungs
under this theater
whose mark is on today,
who alive had a say
a prisoner a leech of history
so who affects the sunset
who affects the sunset

i'm a citizen, a machine, a machinist
in this head there's a compass
but where's the rose
and which road is it leading towards
who knows, who knows

these creature habits keep our hands open
wrapped like a flag on a hammer
i shook glowing sand through paralyzed fingers
and i grasped at a chance
to bring about a real civilization
here's a sutured smile
here's a dispossessed mile
it's a building on fire
there's a working hand tired
so who affects the sunset
who affects the sunset

i'm a citizen a machine a machinist
in this head there's a compass
where's the rose
and which road is leading towards
who knows, who knows

where’s your comfort coming from is it alone?

i'm a citizen a machine a machinist
in this head there's a compass
where's the rose
and which road is leading towards
who knows, who knows
