Under Glass Lyrics - Legendary Pink Dots

The air was thick with scented smoke; the talk was much to small. The 

words would fall and crawl in corners, wind up eaten by the cat, but 

still they spat and groped each other's fat. Danced with rubber arms 

and granite feet. The planet creeped. The ceiling flaked and floated 

in the beer. We stayed clear. We stayed here, under glass. 

And you I know you're trying though you haven't got a clue. See them 

laughing in the showers. Twist and grab a shouting Jew... Did they 

ride you through the corridors, make you climb the wall? Did you fall? 

Did she cry? Did you look for other fools to fry? To fortify your 

island under glass.

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

I know how and where you work; it's written around your collar, sweat 

and dirt and sloping shoulders. You keep tripping on your hands, 

yellow hands, tired hands, pushing pens and pushing sixty, waiting for 

the man to push you off your shelf. Send you rollercoasting frozen to 

your hole under glass. 

And you may be tough and loud; you throw your weight around. But 

you're jelly when the lights go out - you're hearing every sound. The 

wailing chambers, whispering walls, the bitching neighbours' spirits 

call, accuse you with their fire eyes that freeze. You fry, you slip 

their nails inside you. You try and try to hide out under glass.
