lyrics

I don’t translate mucho absoluto
My handler knows the zone
But I’m the only thing still standing in her living room
Looking kind of promenade strune
I don’t like to contemplate your phases
Promotion mode today and I’m back on the sphere
Like the Mir space station
Face it, swivel and dive

Sometimes it pours from me like I’m Jesus’ side
Maybe that’s debatable but please take me alive
You were solar eclipsing through the looping whips
Feeding of the five thousand blitzkreig lips as per
As she carried a lamp through the lake of despair
And she fake I.D’d all the pastel shirts there
She leant me a book that I’ve never fucking read
On my literary list because it smells like her bed
It puts me on a play that I can’t comprehend
It’s a Stonehenge

They say, don’t they?
“Everybody’s got a great novel in them”
They say, don’t they?
“Everybody’s got a great novel in them”

It’s honky tonk night at the yellow chateau
Where the sailors fight and the steam plumes blow
And skeletal trees bow so low
They build femme fatales in the six feet snow
In Hannah Barbera backdrop blue
I found the jewel that belonged to you
Not like I dived down into an icey black stew
I came back to the room in just my Monk Strap shoes
