Everything's Sublime

does that bittersweet taste remain
when bland designs cover the main road?
is the centigrade out, and is the farenheit tucked in the centrefold?
all the creases and folds, all the planes and the curves
are so fragile
keep the reins tightly held
when the horses start galloping so wild

put your cigarette out
and let the teachers know everything's sublime
keep a bit of it back
for when the actor recites his oblique line
i would love to be told that pretension's not visiting this year
but we see that the scenery's
made a silk purse from a sow's ear

now heaven's defiled
i'll be watching, calm, from the sides
weeping as heaven's defiled
as the plans hit the brick wall
i'll be calm, at the sides, i'll be watching
as heaven's defiled
