New Model Army: Vanity

I'll teach you everything that I know now, EddieIf you really want to take the timeBut don't expect to get answers to anything, EddieThere is just one thing I've learnedThrough everything that I've done and triedEverything I have justifiedIt's all vanity, all vanity - we try to have controlIt's all vanity, all vanity 'cause Chaos rules it all I always drive like a madman, EddieBut you'll soon get used to thatI believe if you're moving fast enough, EddieYou don't ever have to watch your backI choose solid ground to make my standsI stay off the streets at closing timeIt's all vanity, all vanity - we try to have controlIt's all vanity, all vanity 'cause Chaos rules it all Remember how it was out at BunglassWe climbed up to the peak and stood against the rocksThe photographs came - you couldn't see usWe were lost against the mountains like specks of dustAnd the mirror never lies, it's just these foolish eyesAnd we all see what we want to seeWhat we need to see, what we have to seeAnd so will you do just the same one day, Eddie I've been to that place a thousand timesLooked over the edge so many timesWanted to jump a thousand times Well we talk about saving the world now, EddieIt's our vanity gone madShe'll survive us all perfectly wellWhen we're all long buried and deadClever monkeys with technologyBarely out of the caves and the treesIt's all vanity, all vanity - we try to have controlIt's all vanity, all vanity 'cause Chaos rules it all Eddie now let it go . . . I turn my head away from hereDown towards the rolling seas againI kneel and worship where I canThe ground comes swirling up and through these veins . . .
