Mars Volta lyrics : "Cotopaxi"

When sanskrit was my mother tongue
Scarabs filled my pillow
Tarmac strips to pave for them

And thrones from which to teach
And in that pulse the future said
The story had been spun

You wet your bed so sleep in it
Cards can't make a house


And up that hill go the last of my crumbs
We'll be lucky if we eat tonight
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs

That's why I'll magnify a hole...

When light years came

And light years passed
Tugging on the brink
Spoils reported missing

Put down in its sleep
Strangled in the background
Fitted for a mask

The future won't believe you
Past the ransom fast


And up that hill go the last of my crumbs
We'll be lucky if we eat tonight
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs

That's why I'll magnify a hole...

Don't beat around the pulpit

There is no lost and found
Where is the devil waiting
Trying to disguise...

I've seen what you used to look like
But down here you won't survive


I've got the weight of half of the world
Don't stop dragging the lake
I won't come home

If you can't come home
Even if you make a grave with my name
You better keep on looking for me
