Well won't you lend your lungs to me
Mine are collapsing
Plant my feet and bitterly breathe

Up the time that's passing
Breath I'll take and breath I'll give
Pray the day ain't poison

Stand among the ones that live
In lonely indecision


Fingers walk the darkness down
Mind is on the midnight
Gather up the gold you found

You fool it's only moonlight
If you try to take it home
Your hands will turn to butter

Better leave this dream alone
Try to find another


Salvation sat and crossed herself
Called the devil partner
Wisdom burned upon a shelf

Who'll kill the raging cancer
Seal the river at its mouth
Take the water prisoner

Fill the sky with screams and cries
Bathe in fiery answers


Jesus was an only son
And love his only concept
Strangers cry in foreign tongues

And dirty up the doorstep
And I for one you for two
Ain't got the time for outside

Keep your injured looks to you
We'll tell the world that we tried
