Rocket Flowers

from Madrugada by Glass Frames

lyrics

When they launched the second rocket
From the RPG, man you should have seen
The look that seized upon the pilot’s face
He had seen it all. Was this the last he’d see?

If war is just a game why can’t i learn the rules and play to win?
If fame is just a math equation what is the X factor here?

Soon the helicopter we were in
Was all but smithereens and we were floating
In a most peculiar way
Toward a sea of sand. Someone hold my hand

If war is just a game why can’t I learn the rules and play to win?
If fame is just a math equation what is the X factor here?
If we are just the tamest of the apes, then who decides the rules?
Give me a typewriter and watch me write a bunch of senselessness

These rockets blow our minds
Like poppies of death in the sky

The helicopter crash was only one
One of many in the city
One of many but the only one
That took my brother and my mother
If you find the empty rocket shell
Gleaming in the sun, won't you pick it up
Hang it out your bedroom window
Plant some poppies there. We’ll see how they fare 

If war is just a game why can’t I learn the rules and play to win?
If fame is just a math equation what is the X factor here?
If we are just the tamest of the apes, then who decides the rules?
Give me a typewriter and watch me write a bunch of senselessness
