They don't make movies anymore
Just a s** explosion
As we go shopping ourselves mean
Want to wake up on the screen
Properties keep changing hands
We think we own them but we can't
I want to hold something that lasts
I want to shatter all my past
The volume of the vanity
New york is giving me the creeps
Like teeth into a baby's knees
Oh baby baby baby please
They name the planets after gods
And the bridges after men
I want a planet and a song
And a building when I am gone
Had a girl I let her go
Now she's someone else's girl
I had a job I couldn't stand
Couldn't tell ya what I did
The volume of the vanity
New york's giving me the creeps
Like teeth into a baby's knees
Oh baby baby baby please
Got to get out of here
Vampires at the gates
They've got a style which is smashing down doors
There is no head to cut off
(solo)
Some people make me want to scream
For the smallness of their dream
Some things that they hold in disdain
Couldn't mean much less to me
Cause you and I know where it's at
We see the stars and things like that
I want to see them all with you
I want to break up and destroy
The volume of the vanity
New york is giving me the creeps
Like teeth into a baby's knees
Oh baby baby baby please
I'm checking myself for holes
The valley of the dead
I want your love and your danger now
If I go down I am going down with someone
This is the culture capital
Beauty bought and sold
But you and I both know
They'd trade their only souls
Like a bridge or tunnel toll
For a thing they never owned
