lyrics: There's a dead man hanging, slumped over the steering wheel Of an interstate runaway bursting into flames And the devil was gently breathing Sleeping face-down in my apartment And like all his friends I'm growing tired of his games And there's a homeless man arranging his hands Grooving to the beat radiating from a police scanner Who said, "The air was feeling good to me As cool and ripe as air can be" And a woman who sincerely believes in UFOs And who can blame her when the stars are hanging overhead Dangling by a thread Floating ten thousand feet off the ground (This was a story told to me when I was just the age of 17 One which God Himself dictated to me He said, "This is how all this shit's gonna be when I blow your little planet into smithereens Blow your little planet into smithereens" It haunted my dreams like an accident on replay on the TV screen) She sees faces in her dreams, strange machines she'd never seen Blueprints of submarines to reassemble in a time of dire need And there were preachers in the desert, waving to the crowd Dictating seven angry letters from a man up in the clouds And there were 27 soldiers telling 27 lies And a hole inside a hurricane with a pair of beady eyes A pair of beady eyes Looking down Onto the pavement while the stars are gathered 'round Because they all want a front seat when shit starts going down Because the sun is just a supernova turned the other way around There were strangers in the subway And men in limousines making deals And swapping photographs of cans of gasoline There are no angels in the woodwork or devils on the ground And they are looking through a hurricane's tectonic wall of sound And a man who smokes his cigarettes the other way around And she is looking in behind him from inside a wall of sound And she is dancing with the neon because The air is feeling good against her arms and legs and fingertips are measuring the distance In the spaces in between me and you and all your friends when there's no time to load a weapon No time to make amends And people frozen in their tracks there staring at the sky at a hole inside a hurricane revealing A pair of beady eyes A pair of beady eyes Looking down Onto the pavement while the stars are gathered 'round Because they all want a front seat when shit starts going down Because the sun is just a supernova turned the other way around This is not a test, this is the real thing This is not a test, this is the real thing
I literally have no idea how TMA fans found and latched onto Under My Skin and never discovered the rest of this album
Can you tell me what tma is
What is tma
@@scrawnysquirrl741 the magnus archives i think
Hi. Don't worry. I'm here exploring the rest of the album.
I may or may not be adding this whole thing to my Martin playlist...in the year of our lord 2022
my favorite part is that this album is literally describing the end of the world
I'm sure if you put all the lyrics together it'd make for a pretty interesting short story too
I describe it my friends as a Soundtrack to a Puppet Rock Opera about Armageddon
@@heatherb678 that works
Damn, I really listened to good music when I was 18.
I'm freaking 30 now and I can't believe I randomly thought of this tonight.
I will ascend when they post sheets for this on their site but for now I am dormant
lyrics:
There's a dead man hanging, slumped over the steering wheel
Of an interstate runaway bursting into flames
And the devil was gently breathing
Sleeping face-down in my apartment
And like all his friends I'm growing tired of his games
And there's a homeless man arranging his hands
Grooving to the beat radiating from a police scanner
Who said, "The air was feeling good to me
As cool and ripe as air can be"
And a woman who sincerely believes in UFOs
And who can blame her when the stars are hanging overhead
Dangling by a thread
Floating ten thousand feet off the ground
(This was a story told to me when I was just the age of 17
One which God Himself dictated to me
He said, "This is how all this shit's gonna be when I blow your little planet into smithereens
Blow your little planet into smithereens"
It haunted my dreams like an accident on replay on the TV screen)
She sees faces in her dreams, strange machines she'd never seen
Blueprints of submarines to reassemble in a time of dire need
And there were preachers in the desert, waving to the crowd
Dictating seven angry letters from a man up in the clouds
And there were 27 soldiers telling 27 lies
And a hole inside a hurricane with a pair of beady eyes
A pair of beady eyes
Looking down
Onto the pavement while the stars are gathered 'round
Because they all want a front seat when shit starts going down
Because the sun is just a supernova turned the other way around
There were strangers in the subway
And men in limousines making deals
And swapping photographs of cans of gasoline
There are no angels in the woodwork or devils on the ground
And they are looking through a hurricane's tectonic wall of sound
And a man who smokes his cigarettes the other way around
And she is looking in behind him from inside a wall of sound
And she is dancing with the neon because
The air is feeling good against her arms and legs and fingertips are measuring the distance
In the spaces in between me and you and all your friends when there's no time to load a weapon
No time to make amends
And people frozen in their tracks there staring at the sky at a hole inside a hurricane revealing
A pair of beady eyes
A pair of beady eyes
Looking down
Onto the pavement while the stars are gathered 'round
Because they all want a front seat when shit starts going down
Because the sun is just a supernova turned the other way around
This is not a test, this is the real thing
This is not a test, this is the real thing
69th like. nice
@@lgbtlion9727 haha nice

This song makes me feel like I'm watching the universe slowly fold into itself
this song literally makes me feel sooooooo insane
Thank you Rain World MAP call, this is great.
This is easily the most underrated piece of art I’ve ever encountered
this song is such a southern gothic
most underrated band since.... uh.... ever?
"Because the Sun is just a supernova turned the other way around"
cant wait to see this album live and not be able to skip this song like I normally do
Okay but, this gives me Good Omens vibes 😂
