THE MARS VOLTA LYRICS - Inertiatic ESP

"Inertiatic ESP"



Now I'm lost



Last night I heard lepers

flinch like birth defects

its musk was fecal in origin

as the words dribbled off of its chin

it said I'm lost

I'm lost



Now I'm lost



Dolls wreck the minced meat of pupils

cast in oblong arms length

the hooks have been picking their scabs

where wolves hide in the company of men

it said I'm lost

I'm lost



Now I'm lost



Are you peaking in the red

perforated at the neck



What of this mongrel architect

a broken arm of sewers set

past present and future tense

clipside of the pinkeye fountain



Now I'm lost



It's been said

long time ago

you'll be the first and last to know



You'll never know
