lyrics

Pressed up against the glass
No
Face crushed into the glass
Can anyone see where we’re going
No
I’m starving for some motion
Oh I swallowed up the party
There was no one left around
I was the biggest fattest baby
I devoured the whole town
And left alone i cried for anybody
Anywhere to hear the sound

I am the one
who thinks he knows:
Dressed in lambs wool,
drenched in blood of those
he has wrung dry before the throne
of some divine perversion
of a glimpse of someone else’s
going home

I saw it on the way in
I lost it when they sewed my skin
It’s never enough

We need no introductions
Or specific instructions
We wrote it out in our heads
Here’s your stage direction
And we’ll make corrections
If we need
So don’t you go off script
We type cast you for this
you’ll be just fine
You’ll play the part nicely,
Unique as you might be
Don’t step out of line
