Terminal Predicting the future has got to be the worst superpower you can get Instead of a slowdance I see loathing and regret Instead of a preschool I see bones, bones, bones Instead of pristine forest I see gringo second homes Life is just a terminal disease We are all continents returning to the seas When the waterline decrees I see the Left Bank and Brooklyn Heights And the Sunset Strip in downtown construction sites I see the West Bank and the Golan Heights And the Gaza Strip in the military airport lights Predicting the future has got to be the worst superpower you can get Instead of your Beemer X3 I see your daughter OD on a drug we haven't heard of yet Instead of ballet shoes I see gentlemen's club dancers Instead of ambulances I hear a goddamn lack of answers Life is just a terminal disease We are all continents returning to the seas When the waterline decrees I see the Left Bank and Brooklyn Heights And the Sunset Strip in downtown construction sites I see the West Bank and the Golan Heights And the Gaza Strip in the military airport lights
