A work-in-progress song, probably for Electric Beauty. The first parts were apparently written in 2013.

Info war’s a kiss away;
Now you want a place to stay:
Jewels shining twice as bright
Need warm bodies in the night.

And just a slip of the tongue,
Just a slip of the pen
is all it takes
To bring your efforts to an end.

You hear the helicopters landing
And soldiers’ footsteps echo down the hall.
You told her when you came you were a liar,
And now you'll play your tune in Ecuador.

Further fragments:

Another sermon from the mount
Comes just in time to swing the count:
The scarlet whore will send a rose
To say what everybody knows.
