Luciforms - The Mars Volta

How much do you make

in that death factory

Severance owed

in the chamber of revolvers

Empty jails

fall from my scalp

Shake the globe and let me out

If still I can remember the day

That they took you from me Seems like I’ve been running

from your trenchant memory

Harpsichord will warn me when it’s over

'Cause if heaven breathes

then someone trade places with me

'Cause I don’t want to tear feathers instead of rags

When do I get to see the body

preserved inside this grin

Sewn in the lips

were her last words

I’ll be damned — I can still hear her laughing

Your angels have tangled their brass again

The comfort of doubt still it keeps you thin

And still I can remember the day

That they took you from me Seems like I’ve been running

from your trenchant memory

Harpsichord will warn me when it’s over

'Cause if heaven breathes

then someone trade places with me

'Cause I don’t want to tear feathers instead of rags

Does your temperature ache

Is your glass about to break

Are you purple with current

Will you now become the servant

Gordian knots in the power lines

Saucer fills so empty with pesticide

Like the pharaohs of old

Bury me in gold

If your son refuse to fight

in the Stockholm setting that we provide

If your heart does cease to speak

My fingernail choir

will make your chalkboard sing
