lyrics

Someday vines will bloom from our open begging mouths
Horns, from our skulls, will grow like bulls eyes on our backs
So let the crowd blow fear
One day in every year
To clear our conscience
Of the revolutions that ain't happening
Back to work now
Until next time
We’re on holiday

Ninety-five petrol green
And a ride in the wild and a ride in the
Ninety-eight pitch black
We’re the light in the dark we’re the light in the
Two thousand kerosene
In a war limousine In a war limo
Diesel smoke screens
And death to all the rhinos left

Maybe the roads
Will hold
For the new flesh coming to save us all
Let’s keep on rolling
And let someone else take care of this

Ninety-five petrol green
And a ride in the wild and a ride in the
Ninety-eight pitch black
We’re the light in the dark we’re the light in the
Two thousand kerosene
In a war limousine In a war limo
Diesel smoke screens
And death to all the rhinos left

It’s us or them, we might as well cut off the heads
When one’ll remain, we’ll be coming for the ivory king

Ninety-five petrol green
And a ride in the wild and a ride in the
Ninety-eight pitch black
We’re the light in the dark we’re the light in the
Two thousand kerosene
In a war limousine In a war limo
Diesel smoke screens
And death to all the rhinos left
