The mattress squeaks
And up you get
The curtains breathing
The curtains breathing
You leave him sleeping
He's earned his rest
He's smiling sweetly
He's smiling sweetly
Our bodies crumble
But you'll patch them up
You're so determined
You're so determined
Today it's brown boots
And safety specs
You've got a feeling
You've got a feeling
With the magic of our age
Turn the light on
Watch you shake
With the magic of our age
Turn the light on
Watch you shake
Crystallise and culture
What's wrong with squashing bugs
You prey on something bigger
You prey on something bigger
I cannot fault your wonders
But I can fault your ways
What happened to your dog
And what happened to your kid
Your genius astounds me
Your ignorance does too
You're not a revolution
And you won't find the solution
At night you coo and cuddle
On a mattress full of rats
Blood bubbles from the willow
Blood bubbles from the willow
With the magic of our age
Turn the light on
Watch you shake
With the magic of our age
Turn the light on
Watch you shake
With the magic of our age
Turn the light on
Watch you shake
With the magic of our age
Behold the future
Sedated in a cage
And watch it shake
Shaker, shaker, shaker
Shaker, shaker, shaker
Shaker, shaker, shaker
Shaker, shaker, shaker
It doesn't go unnoticed
But my God, it goes unsaid
I'm ashamed to be complicit
I'm ashamed to be complicit
And the hunt won't be abandoned
Til Eden's been undone
Do you think we'll live forever
Maybe we'll live forever
And darling don't be frightened
By the twitching of its paws
It's joined the ranks of martyrs
For mummy's Nobel cause
And through our own affliction
We labour and we strive
This weight upon the table
Was born within your mind
With the magic of our age
Turn the light on
Watch you shake
With the magic of our age
Turn the light on
Watch you shake
With the magic of our age
Turn the light on
Watch you shake
With the magic of our age
Turn the light on
Watch you shake
