Guided by Voices - Striped White Jets lyrics

(R. Pollard)

Send in the striped white jets

In through stained glass ceilings, ah-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh

Color them white or red

Don't let anyone find out

Or expose your feelings, ah-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh

Cover your head instead

And penetrate this dark heart

And as the wound is healing, ah-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh

Crawl to the other side

Where things are new in brilliant blue

And striped white jets come speeding through, ah-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh

And we must not forget

The sudden pain of birth and greed

And what's expected of this superbreed

And those who dream to touch the sun

And those who run

Who always run

Perfect striped white jets

In their hangars bleeding, ah-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh

Cover them all in black
