"Trash / Treasure" lyrics - WIRE

Subject requested
Heard in double density
Future contested
Do you have the dentistry?
Making the payment
Heads will surely roll for this
Making a statement
Welcome to the abyss

Maybe I'm restless
But it all comes down to this
Art of the senseless
Is there something you might miss?
Well I've heard it all and seen it all
And there won't be much to measure
And behind the scenes instead of dreams
There's trash instead of treasure

Subject detected
And ownership disputed
Development arrested
Their lives have been re-routed
Major reads minors
Left outside with stars in their eyes
Cold water diviners
Will turn promises into lies

Well I've heard it all and seen it all
And there won't be much to measure
And behind the scenes instead of dreams
There's trash instead of treasure
