lyrics
I'm giving up Lent for Lent
I pass out the strychnine, if you cough up the rent
Oh say they'll stay transfixed & bewitched
There's a tick from the clock that's attached to the bombs that we made
I'll stand culled at the ends of the earth
Throwing all my worth to the wolves
And I know where things might hinge but I don't have the sparks to burn this bridge
Bodies lie still on the carpet
There's not much a view from a second story apartment
Oh I, I'm nauseous again
I'm half-cocked & grinning, yeah I'm bleached by the sun
And I can't stop staring
I'll burn bright like a powder keg in a powder keg
And if it doesn't ignite then bring your pistols
Make them sing like pitbulls
Let's meet them head on, & when every window breaks
I want to hear the sound that it makes
And if the calvary's stalled
Then bring your shotguns, 'cause you know we're the last ones
