Crystal Lyrics - Husker Du

Avalanche looms overhead 

Airplane flies overhead 

Important man sits by the window 

Sucked out of the first class window 

Images run by, thousand miles an hour 

But the time seems far away 

Folding clothes in a folding closet 

Folding money in a resume 

Time to let off some pressure 

Time to let off some steam 

All your notebooks get thrown away 

And you start your diary clean 

Crystal glass lined up in a row 

Watched over by the G.I. Joes 

Sugar in your coffee doesn't taste quite right 

Feeling the effects for a hundred thousand nights 

When civilization falls in its grave 

Technology throws on the dirt 

You realize the finest things in life 

Are the ones that can never be hurt 

Shatters your brain in a million tiny pieces 

The sounds you hear aren't coming out right 

You think it might be mystic, you think I might be cryptic 

The crystal in your china case is breaking in a million tiny pieces
