The Mars Volta - Cotopaxi lyrics

When Sanskrit brought my mother tongue Scarabs filled the pillow Comic strips to pay for them Fools from which to teach And in that pulse the future said Story had been spun Wet your bed so sleep in it Cards can make a house Up that hill go the last of my crumbs We'll be lucky if we eat tonight Up that hill go the last of my crumbs That's why I'll magnify a hole When light years came and light years pa**ed Tugging on the brink Smoldering bullet missing Put down in its sleep Strangled in the background Fitted for a mask Future won't believe you Here's the revered past Up that hill go the last of my crumbs We'll be lucky if we eat tonight 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 Down here you won't survive I've got the weight of half of the world Don't stop dragging the lake, 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 I've got the weight of half of the world You'd better keep on looking for me I won't come home if you can't come home Don't stop dragging the lake, don't stop dragging the lake Up that hill go the last of my crumbs We'll be lucky if we eat tonight Up that hill go the last of my crumbs That's when I'll magnify a hole in your abdomen Find me the head And I'll show you the body Lay it to rest Don't say you're sorry
