Voodoo Dolls

from In the Garden of Panopticon by BAAN

lyrics

He flew gliders in the sunshine
Fly by wire, coffee in a tin canteen
There’s a biker in the velodrome
Seven hours ‘til he goes home
Going around and around
Big ones, little ones they make no sound
Fifteen minutes in every six hours
Looking out the window, crying for the flowers

Derek is a plastic, the light is yellow
Like slavery, the drugs are making us mellow
Get through the day screaming
Wake up from the nightmare still dreaming
Forty years of blood and toil
Friends are sleeping underneath the soil
Carried them away in filofaxes
In the days when death was better than taxes

Through invisible walls
Gravity falls
And infinity calls
We are voodoo dolls
Voodoo dolls

When he was a boy his memory was taken
In the hospital he was forsaken
Maybe it was the drugs his mother was on
In the days before the child was born
He remembers nursery rhymes
But nothing much since, it happens all the time
You want to put him at the front of the stage
Reading words he forgets from a blank page

Through invisible walls
Gravity falls
And infinity calls
We are voodoo dolls
Voodoo dolls

Voodoo dolls
Voodoo dolls
