Lyrics

[00:03.13] Then The Clouds Will Open For Me
[00:14.20] My guy has a tan transcontinental
[00:19.52] but it keeps me enchained
[00:25.79] watch an old black and white movie
[00:27.76] fred and ginger are too sentimental, crying in shame
[00:37.11] I don't want to be forgotten
[00:42.89] I can't be alone
[00:45.97] so don't you dare leave me
[00:48.85] it's like coming home
[00:52.04] to a skin that has died
[00:54.97] human voices like a drum
[00:57.90] and they're looking right through me
[01:01.08] scatter the ashes one more time for me, one more time for me
[01:20.42] my guy has a tattoo ornamental
[01:25.77] when he's frozen in space
[01:32.29] cut your eye far to me
[01:34.16] a covered carcass is too elemental, caught underneath a subway
[01:44.97] I don't want to be forgotten
[01:50.89] I can't be alone
[01:53.77] so don't you dare leave me
[01:56.65] it's like coming home
[01:59.69] it's a skin that has died
[02:02.67] human voices like a drum
[02:05.92] and they're looking right through me
[02:09.14] scatter the ashes one more time for me, one more time for me
[02:25.63] one more time for me, one more time for me
[02:37.87] one more time for me, one more time for me
[02:49.41] one more time for me, one more time for me
[03:01.42] trans-likened, twisting my ankle
[03:07.27] doing the grave dance
[03:13.80] narcotic? yes please, I'll have a sample
[03:20.17] riding on my very last chance
[03:26.95] then the clouds will open for me
[03:33.62] gonna meet my jesus christ
[03:39.94] I see history playing before me
[03:44.24] for pleasure and passion you play the price
[03:52.93] sadness the name of the spike that took me
[03:59.06] I'll make that's all
[04:04.78] like some raging, hard, horny mephistopheles
[04:11.35] who came for my soul
