Stereolab › Lyrics › Suggestion Diabolique

This angel always the brightest
Oh, surely will fall out of the nest
Conscious of the falsification
And the harnessing of our reality

There'll be no return
No rapprochement
No conciliation
Wisdom without art

Constantly evil thing, curious
Somber, obscure, dark and luminous
Vitriolic, stringent, prophetic

He penetrated
The wheels of modern society
That he hated so, so much
Hated with all his strength

The angel would never submit
For his eyes were wide open and lit
We brought oil where there was a fire
In this way for good we're bound to the devil

There'll be no return
No rapprochement
No conciliation
Wisdom without art

The tumbler stayed standing up
All of his life he flinched not
The tumbler stayed standing up

Surpassing all the art
Surpassing cinema
Surpassing life itself
