lyrics
heartbeats like footsteps are scaling the stairs and making their way to the room
where she sits like a deity used as an ashtray with the pile of clothes she's removed
and how she breathes, an august breeze sounds like the starving song of summer
and now he breathes the new disease sounds like the sweating song of sickness
and now the spines divide
and now the spines align
and now the night's divine
and she turns on the light because it's over.
i've spent half my days in a film canister
scared by the thought of the sun
and then came the day when she turned me to gray
now i'm no use to anything or anyone
and i've found my place in the burning taste, that calm cool, crystal clear chemical bath
or that steady hand down Manor Ave kept from falling off of the beaten path
and i'll take this to my grave
there's nothing you could save
i'll nod my head and wave
but that's no way to behave in front of a lady
where she sits like a deity used as an ashtray with the pile of clothes she's removed
and how she breathes, an august breeze sounds like the starving song of summer
and now he breathes the new disease sounds like the sweating song of sickness
and now the spines divide
and now the spines align
and now the night's divine
and she turns on the light because it's over.
i've spent half my days in a film canister
scared by the thought of the sun
and then came the day when she turned me to gray
now i'm no use to anything or anyone
and i've found my place in the burning taste, that calm cool, crystal clear chemical bath
or that steady hand down Manor Ave kept from falling off of the beaten path
and i'll take this to my grave
there's nothing you could save
i'll nod my head and wave
but that's no way to behave in front of a lady
