Lyrics

[00:20.23] Hurled to the center of the Earth again
[00:24.59] The place where it's hot love
[00:25.71] You know it hurts to breathe in
[00:29.71] And the watershed you balance on is begging it
[00:34.18] Well did he ever know
[00:35.19] Will he ever know
[00:38.38] The trees in the moonshine are a dark lattice
[00:43.49] So you catalog any angle you notice
[00:48.01] In a vacuum you are charged to record this
[00:52.54] So you won't make it easy on me
[00:57.05] I can't go into this no more
[01:01.19] It puts too many thorns on my mind
[01:06.30] And the necessary balloon lies a corpse on the floor
[01:10.56] We've pissed on far too many sprites
[01:16.73] And they're all standing up for their rights
[01:31.21] Born on a desert floor you've the deepest thirst
[01:36.20] And you came to my sweet shore to indulge it
[01:40.75] With the wan and dreaming eyes of an orphan
[01:45.45] But there was not enough
[01:46.32] There is not enough
[01:49.64] Out of a gunnysack fall red rabbits
[01:54.23] Into the crucible to be rendered an emulsion
[01:59.10] And we can't allow a chance they'd restore themselves
[02:04.10] So we can't make it easy on you
[02:07.96] Undaunted you bathed in hollow cries
[02:12.33] The boys with swollen sunburnt eyes
[02:17.42] A reward for letting nothing under their skin
[02:21.59] So help me I don't know I might
[02:27.72] Just give the old dark side a try
[02:34.33] Don't cast your whirling eyes on the shore
[02:38.14] Till we even the score
[02:43.13] I still owe you for the hole in the floor
[02:47.25] And the ghost in the hall
[02:52.44] Who decides who paddles over the falls
[02:56.33] Yeah who makes the call
[02:58.95] Who makes the call
[03:42.88] I know there's an eventual
[03:47.15] Release from every scale of crime
[03:52.33] But the necessary balloon lies a corpse on the floor
[03:56.21] We've pissed on far too many good intentions
[04:03.95] Held by clever sprites
[04:09.50] And they're all standing up for their rights
