Steel through passageways like water through fountain pipes
The eyes of many rolling from their holes
Out to the causeway, leering along
The crooked sidewalks
And all there is to see
Follow secret, secret back streets
Flow just like water
Water flowing through a pipeline
Avoid the avenues teeming
Sun goes down behind landscape seeming
Alien in its nightmare evening
Avoid
Step lightly over whores reaching
Up through cracks in the concrete
Grinning death masks of beauty living
Hands like scalpels reaching out
Step lightly over whores reaching
Up through cracks in the concrete
Grinning death masks of beauty living
Hands like scalpels reaching out
Desire killed the curious
Desire killed the curious
Avoid the avenues teeming
Sun goes down behind landscape seeming
Alien in its nightmare evening
Avoid
Desire killed the curious
Desire killed the curious
Incision neat and clean
(Magnetism) Spilling onto street
(Magnetism) Less the distance between
(Magnetism) Unfathomable points
Attraction and repulsion
Who ever wanted to live forever?
Who ever wanted to live forever?
The eyes of many rolling from their holes
Out to the causeway, leering along
The crooked sidewalks
And all there is to see
Follow secret, secret back streets
Flow just like water
Water flowing through a pipeline
Sun goes down behind landscape seeming
Alien in its nightmare evening
Avoid
Up through cracks in the concrete
Grinning death masks of beauty living
Hands like scalpels reaching out
Step lightly over whores reaching
Up through cracks in the concrete
Grinning death masks of beauty living
Hands like scalpels reaching out
Desire killed the curious
Sun goes down behind landscape seeming
Alien in its nightmare evening
Avoid
Desire killed the curious
(Magnetism) Spilling onto street
(Magnetism) Less the distance between
(Magnetism) Unfathomable points

"Steel through passageways like water through fountain pipes"
Taken literally, it means that streets are actively being flooded by steel... being pulled towards a gigantic magnet?
"Step lightly over whores reaching Up through cracks in the concrete Grinning death masks of beauty living Hands like scalpels reaching out"
Literally the bodies of people having been buried alive and died trying to grasp for a way out? But why whores, I have no idea.
"Desire killed the curious"
Someone has been pushing the envelope for an invention or a scientific breakthrough too far and triggered a large-scale catastrophe
