AutoBoy Lyrics

Take your pretty pictures

Of the city lights burning away

A caustic look across the night

At the spirit upon the water

Let there be light mutters the feel

The camera flash spits the darkness

The city sits torn at the edges

Rising on the naked hill between us

Take your pretty pictures

Come, lay down your palms

Your saviour is coming home

Somewhere between silicone and Christ

Rolling out of his personal conflict zone

He carries the final draft of his life

The gospel according to contemporary pain

Pulls out the last page before the writer

Looks him in the eye and says try again

Take your pretty pictures

And you still can't look twice

The lights are still too tight

Dress in silence now, the darkening sky

The guilt with wings forgotten with a cry

The sisters are silent now

They know the hill, they know the spot

They know the blood has never been more real

When the body is found, the face that you forgot

Take your pretty pictures
