about

The song is about the movie World on a Wire directed by Fassbinder. It is also a song about someone who is too dumb to care being placed in a science fiction thriller.

lyrics

The eye of the storm could not stay in one place
surrounded by noise, unable to get away
growing up with a vision that could never be reached
toast a shot of whiskey to crime and mediocrity
in the times i dream of Texas I can see so many days
where the rain felt good in the afternoon after a summer day

Death to the king and the people who let him rule
alone in the dark watch as the fire burns the wood
a world on a wire this machine knows my every need
is it so bad that you can change the way you think
sometimes i know there's another me in a world above
making jokes at my expense because i fell in love

who took the top off my Russian doll?
