Lyrics Ancient Civilization - Screaming Females

Ancient Civilization

I made cigarette burns in the center of your room
Outlined by the legs of a bug on its back
I poured salt from my palm in the center of your room
Slow and steadily built a bridge on your back
Ancient civilization
Bring me into your halls
Drain the river that feeds me
You just can’t wait to meet me
I’d like to ask the host, can I please stay?
Making the most of our last days
Bleed into the turn deep in the pyramids I field
Three dark stars set and sing to the dead man’s flood
All nine planets align mimicked in your dance moves
And we’re having our time left to choose
Ancient civilization
Bring me into your halls
Drain the river that feeds me
You just can’t wait to meet me
I’d like to ask the host, can I please stay?
Making the most of our last days
Even the right to live free is gone
Even the right to live free is gone
Crunch your numbers with pause yielding plausible 13
Punching cards for the gods so I’ll charge for the cause
Match the mirror’s reflection and see what I see
The mirage is in charge, we’ll show them who’s boss
Ancient civilization
Bring me into your halls
Drain the river that feeds me
You just can’t wait to meet me
I’d like to ask the host, can I please stay?
Making the most of our last days
