Drag my tongue across the sand
Em
So happy just to crawl across the land
A
Soon I'll be the best around
Em
I'm gonna keep my plunder underground
A
Hard flesh cold against the rain
Em
Dust billowing around my brazen brain
A
Saw off all my stinking limbs
Em
Blood dripping down my sunken money chin

A
Two thumbs across the Rubicon
Em
Slack jaw but you'll never be passing it on
A
Plug hole, down the drain you go
Em
Your body never made it past the snow
A
Canine fangs about my throat
Em
You're bleeding over Eden like a goat
A
Tall blade dripping in every field
Em
I'm blooming like a fuming human shield
A
