Skeletal History |
Ohhh, an artery is not a vein |
No history can tell |
My skeleton won’t tell |
Why some like moths draw |
To a surgeon’s drill |
And bloodshot hits to marrow |
The snake’s eaten through her clothes and |
Her charms that won me over |
DeGama breached this lofty reach |
Balboa left his bones upon the beach |
Left there to bleach |
A rose breaks in my fingers |
Pullin' nickels through the stem too much has took its toll |
Smoke crawls low along the ceilings |
And all is quiet |
But I keep listening |
They come to kill me |
Oh, she just left, you missed her |
Go on home, the sex theater is closed |
Cracked mouth, too dry to drink |
At least the sand is cold |
You wish the sea would drown the freeway |
Instead, girls stare in dead-eyed wonder |
They can’t walk for fallen soldiers |
Used by cops and fucked inside abandoned boarding houses |
Go on fast before the beast catches the bastard |
Draggin' the chain down, down, down |
Who’ll say it |
Tell me |
No one else is here, come on |
Nothin' to believe is to be blessed, come on |
Who’s layin' low, you said |
Weather veins no bones to be |
Good or bad, the death of me |
Just make it quietly |
Oh, who knows my sister |
Can’t anyone admit the fact that they infected her |
She said the sun was gonna burn and blister |
My blood |
Godspeed |
God |
Love her |
Farewell, honey |
Yeah |
No mourning son’ll move her |
No hellbent amen or hallelujah |
Prayers are for the dead left over |
The breached never to reach that sandy beach |
Poor baby girl’s gone under |
To each their own grave buried in |
Underneath abandoned boarding houses |
Sidewalks and streets |
Sidewalks and streets |
Though my skeleton won’t tell |
Some could see |
Why moths draw to surgeons' drills |
And blood shots |
Hit the marrow |
