the perilous night

we needed warming from the cold hard facts

unheeded warnings bout the broken tracks

all hope is fading and it's not coming back again

uniting forces may be calling fast

changing courses to some stalin past

melting faces through the looking glass

my friend

something's got a hold of our feel alright

out of control in the appetite

we're moving into the perilous night

amen

amen

dumb

white and angry with their cup half filled

running over people down in charlottesville

white house fury

it's the killing side

he defends

defend the up-ender

yes he played that tune

is ain't the ending but it's coming soon

we're making love beneath a sputnik moon again

white house is glowing from the red square light

the gates at the border being slammed down tight

we're moving into the perilous night

my friend

something's got a hold of our feel alright

out of control in the appetite

we're moving into the perilous night

amen

amen

and why's that drone looking through my window?

world keeps turning in the torch light shadow

fourth reich in khakis is beckoning

both ends burning to the reckoning

ronnie reagan must be spinning his grave

putin's on the rise

ukraine's under siege

fascism's knocking and trump says let them in"
