death of a future . . .
    jekyll in you
    brings out the wired in me
    i have no defense
    i'm all that you see
    the night is a bomb blast
    the night is on fire
    sing with me in the gasoline choir

    and you say you want to change our minds
    i've paid for your belief with mine
    of all the bravest stands in time

    you stoop so low you'll never rise
    --bush, "bomb"
