Lyrics The Floating Dagger - Dead Rider

The Floating Dagger

By the time I took my place in line
They had locked the doors behind
Past due, the midday sun was makin' 'em sweat
I didn’t mind gettin' baked too — ooh!
And one by one we made our way to the trap
You could hear their voices through the window
You could easily hear the pop — pop — pop
Oh I waited so long I sold my clock
I thought they’d never stop
Well all they had was fast and loud
And just this once I was glad I’d seen it all before
They stretched and flexed — I just relaxed
They watched me — I stayed still as steel
They don’t realize it — I got all their prizes
And I waited long enough to die!
They run to the shore — I stay in the pool
On the patio with the piano
And I’m watching them all fold
Now I roll up to the mark hold my arm out
Take an eyelid
And squeeze
