Lyrics The Mars Volta

The Mars Volta

Goliath

That night I remember what you slipped in my glass

We came rewinding when

I foamed at the mouth while the lights winked at me

And now my shape is kept

The rain it can't hide, wash the pain from this hex

Is it so permanent?

Did she catch a left eye when it blinks three times

Or once just to seal you in?

In your drunken breath did it stain like us

In place of poison heat?

I gotta rid this world of your intention

Swap the corpse in the casket

Give me that corpse please

The one that tore nightly

I really want it now

Fold the arms slowly

Don't want you to hold me

It fits just like a glove

Does he make you feel alright?

When I seep inside your truth through suspicious little

coughs

You sank your nails inside a key while the door you

shut closed up

The black stockings you kept smell of wet cigarette

Torn of lust that you could not keep

I have slept inside your fault to have you keep me here

on this leash

For the rest of your pets I will feed to this theft

As we consummate the vows of defeat

And when you pray for an end to this I do believe this

is eternity

Give me that corpse please

The one that tore nightly

I really want it now

Fold the arms slowly

Don't want you to hold me

It fits just like a glove

Your closet is bulging

White marrow withholding

Does he make you feel alright?

Give me that corpse please

The one that tore nightly

I really want it now

Fold the arms slowly

Don't want you to hold me

It fits just like a glove

Your closet is bulging

White marrow withholding

Does he make you feel alright?

Never heard a man speak like this man before

Never heard a man speak like this man before

All the days of my life ever since I've been born

Never heard a man speak like this man before

Watch me now

Say it, say it, say it loud

Say it, say it, say it loud

Hold your heavy burden

In a pocket full of drink that I have drunk

Spit the remnants in your direction

This is the closest to any kingdom that you will come

I'm starting to feel a miscarriage coming on

It's numbing a stump clearing in my throat

And I just can't lose grip of it

She fumigated my mental hygiene

I'm all out of pulse but I know you can resuscitate me

Never heard a man speak like this man before

Never heard a man speak like this man before

All the days of my life ever since I've been born

Never heard a man speak like this man before

Never heard a man speak like this man before

Never heard a man speak like this man before

All the days of my life ever since I've been born

Never heard a man speak like this man before

Watch me now
