|
Look up, what do you see?
|
All of you and all of me
|
Fluorescent and starry
|
Some of them, they surprise.
|
The bus ride, I went to write this, four a.m., this letter.
|
Fields of poppies, little pearls.
|
All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed each and every one a little scary,
|
I said you name.
|
|
I wore it like a badge of teen age film stars,
|
Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
|
Dreaming of Maria Callas
|
Whoever she is.
|
This fame thing, I don't get it
|
I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
|
Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
|
I can take you far.
|
This star thing, I don't get it.
|
|
Aluminum, tastes like fear, Adrenaline, it pulls us near
|
It tastes like fear.
|
|
Will you live to eighty-three?
|
Will you ever welcome me?
|
Will you show me something that nobody else has seen?
|
Smoke it, drink.
|
Here comes the flood.
|
Anything to thin the blood, these corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet.
|
Phone, eat it, drink.
|
Just another chink,
|
Cuts and dents, they catch the light.
|
Aluminum, the weakest link.
|
|
I don't want to disappoint you
|
I'm not here to anoint you
|
I would lick your feet but is that the sickest move,
|
I wear my own crown in sadness and in sorrow
|
And who'd have thought tomorrow could be so strange?
|
My loss, and here we go again.
|
|
Aluminum, tastes like fear, Adrenaline, it pulls us near.
|
It tastes like fear.
|
Look up, what do you see?
|
All of you and all of me
|
Fluorescent and starry.
|
Some of them they surprise.
|
I can't look it in the eyes
|
Seconal, Spanish fly, absinthe,
|
Kerosene cherry flavored neck and collar
|
I can smell the sorrow on your breath
|
The sweat, the victory and sorrow, the smell of fear. I got it.
|
|
Aluminum, tastes like fear, Adrenaline, it pulls us near.
|
Aluminum, tastes like fear, Adrenaline, it pulls us near.
|
Tastes like fear...it pulls us near.
|
It tastes like fear...it pulls us near.
|
It tastes like fear, pulls us near.
|
Nearer, nearer.
|
I'll take you there, I'll take you there,
|
I'll take you there, I'll take you there...
|
