Lyrics The Mars Volta

The Mars Volta

Halo of Nembutals

When the earth lets you go

When the verdict is vermin

By the fork in my tongue

When you run out of sermon

When sooner or later

is still not enough

What a foul little temptress

your daughter's become

Deviate by all means in name

'Cuz we all crawl in quicksand the same

Deviate by all means in name

'Cuz we all crawl in quicksand the same

The night I begged you to come to me

The limp in your talk

and the scent of your bleed

And still I’m not willing to let you go

You covered your wounds

in a bandage of sloth

The deeper the slur that rang from her laugh

And something tells me to keep it together

How could you turn your back on me

I've summoned the stampede of infidel feet

For all I ever wanted is all you ever flaunted

Deviate by all means in name

'Cuz we all crawl in quicksand the same

Deviate by all means in name

'Cuz we all crawl in quicksand the same

Vanished to 5th dementia

Cables of ringworms

have hung themselves

Of this I ate...

Communion shaped

Serpent rays in prism tail rainbows escape

They send in the necrophiliacs

Carcinogen tar

turns to smoldering asp

Of this I ate...

Communion shaped

Serpent rays in prism tail rainbows escape

Read it from bottomless palindromes

Hear my request to be disowned

Of this I ate...

Communion shaped

Serpent rays in prism tail rainbows escape

Deviate by all means in name

'Cuz we all crawl in quicksand the same

Deviate by all means in name

'Cuz we all crawl in quicksand the same
