Extremities — Killing Joke

Extremities confusing me Affect me night and day Fascinated, devastated Critical decade Vanishing greenery Changing scenery Yet somehow I accept Extremities confusing me Yet somehow I accept

White heat (I watch a meltdown) Cut the wood against the grain Pleasure - pain (one word) Extremities

I'm frightened I'm excited And I cannot differenciate between the two

Each and every one of us is watching for the signs The days go by we count the moments The moments of our lives All the time all the time

The earthquakes came and the buildings all fell down Yes the sun grew hot and the children dehydrate I saw the soldiers burn I saw their skin just blister and break

Each and everyone of us is counting out the Moments of our lives all the time
