Omar Rodríguez-López - Invalid Litter Dept. lyrics

[Verse 1] Intravenously polite it was the walkie-talkies That had knocked the pins down As their shoes gripped the dirt floor In the silhouette of dying Dancing on corpses' ashes Yeah, they had plans for him They has spun the last of the pimps Polyester, satin nailed j**elry lips While the guillotine just laughed again Dancing on the corpses' ashes And the paramedics fell into the wound Like a rehired scab at a barehanded plant An anesthetic penance beneath The hail of contraband Dancing on the corpses' ashes [Chorus x2] On my way, nails broke and fell Into the wishing well, wishing well, wishing well [Verse 2] They had been defected and excommunicated And all the pulses were subverted And they made sure the obituaries Showed pictures of smoke stacks Dancing on the corpses' ashes A vivid dissection that mocked The strut of vivisection Semiautomatic colonies And a silencing that still walks the streets Dancing on the corpses' ashes In the company of wolves Was a stretcher made of Cobblestone curfews The federales performed Their custodial customs quite well Dancing on the corpses' ashes [Chorus x4] On my way, nails broke and fell Into the wishing well, wishing well, wishing well [Repeat Verse 1] Intravenously polite it was the walkie-talkies That had knocked the pins down As their shoes gripped the dirt floor In the silhouette of dying Dancing on corpses' ashes Yeah, they had plans for him They has spun the last of the pimps Polyester, satin nailed j**elry lips While the guillotine just laughed again Dancing on the corpses' ashes And the paramedics fell into the wound Like a rehired scab at a barehanded plant An anesthetic penance beneath The hail of contraband Dancing on the corpses' ashes [Chorus x3] On my way, nails broke and fell Into the wishing well, wishing well, wishing well On my way, dancing on the corpses' ashes (2x) [Bridge 2x] Callous heels numbed in travel Endless maps made by their scalpels, scalpels
