ADT INFINITUM
surrounded by the after-image of our past performance
echo's of applause that died down in the course of leaving
terrible ties cotton-wool duffer and trash we're so cool
terrible ties cotton-wool duffer and trash we're so cool
change for what it’s worth and keep on dreaming
gleaning marks upon the wall we're the chosen fools that rose and fell

please admire our trophies we've got nothing else to sell
please admire our trophies we've got nothing else to sell
terrible ties cotton-wool duffer and trash we're so cool
terrible ties cotton-wool duffer and trash we're so cool
