Lyrics The Mars Volta

The Mars Volta

Askepios

I'll be there waiting with a hook in your neck

Is the contact you've made deficient?

And your hand will break if you touch this fence

Please them 'til they're blind with cleft lens

What have you brought for my appetite?

What have you brought for my appetite?

I'll never perish with the albino horns of a thousand

young born

Will you drink from the depths of my sea?

And your hand will break if you touch this fence

Please them 'til they're blind with cleft lens

What have you brought for my appetite?

What have you brought for my appetite?

I might not make it back again

The vervain is on the rise

Maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe

They've got to open wide

Got to open wide

Might of a serpent swallowing tail

Cycle recycled and I'm next to nothing

Help me come alive

[x4]

Place your ring finger on this debt

Am I living or am I dead?

Do what thou will tell them what I've found

The steps of a ladder from a diamondback's mouth

Help me come alive

[x6]

I ain't gonna hold my breath

[x2]
