Fatima Mansions - Gary Numan's Porsche Lyrics
In a half-faced mask made of tinted glassWalking streets of creased wet concreteWhere her curse [attacks] sometimeBy the screaming chain-store signsYou can feel each bruise with each shakey hoofWhich conveys her through this limboWhere the blue lights [at full tide]Deny the facts of her lifeWhen you ruled by his [? ? ? ? ][by his broken his children]You beat up on the joneses[only robots could kill me]Because you know he was with youWhen you buried your futureYou were lost and 18LostChorus:You justify the use of forceBy the well-armed world that [did you so short]As the years roll on by like a drunk old horseAnd you purr like gary numans porscheSee the midlife hacks with their [...] of cashGet to live for long enoughTo see nostalgia and pasticheStored in leather and mesquiteBut they take out f-wordsAnd they take out the p-wordsAnd they take out the j-wordsAnd they take out the zed-wordAnd they take out the u-wordAnd they take out the end-wordAll thats left is the garbageBut that will do--chorusOn gary numans porscheIt says, bring back the 60s, save the queen [but gas the poor]Gary numans porscheIs waiting outside of the stage doorSo dont deface the roomHell be leaving soon...i hopeWell, its 80s night, her remaining lightAs the bedsit 81 fades into suicide 942,000,094And the future [we told][like the snow-in ? ? ? ? ]And the one which we live inCharmless and boringGary, please, can you fix it?Take us up in your spaceshipSet us free in this porscheWhich says...You justify the use the forceBy the well-armed world that knows youre corneredIn the work of [...]There are better things to do than name the days--chorus
