[Intro]
Like a rock
Like a planet
Like a fuckin' atom bomb
I'll remain unperturbed by the joy and the madness that I encounter everywhere I turn

[Verse 1]
I've seen it all along
In books and magazines
Like a twitch before dyin'
Like a pornographic sea
There's a flower behind the window
There's an ugly laughing man
Like a hummingbird in silence
Like the blood on my door
It's the generator

[Pre-Chorus]
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Like the blood on my door
Wash me clean, and I will run
Until I reach the shore
[Verse 2]
I've known it all along
Like the bone under my skin
Like actors in a photograph
Like paper in the wind
There's a hammer by the window
There's a knife on the floor
Like turbines in darkness
Like the blood on my door
It's the generator

[Pre-Chorus]
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Like the blood on my door
Wash me clean, and I will run
Until I reach the shore

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
