THE MARS VOLTA LYRICS - Halo Of Nembutals

"Halo Of Nembutals"



When the earth let you go

when the verdict is vermin

By the fork in my tongue

when you run out of sermon



When sooner or later

is still not enough

What a foul little temptress

your daughter's become



Deviate all by means in name

cause we all crawl in quicksand the same

[x2]



The night I begged you to come to me

the limp in your talk and the scent of your bleed

It's still not enough roulette to let you go



You covered your wounds in a bandage of sloth

the deeper the slur that rang from her laugh

If something tells me to keep it together



How could you turn your back on me?

I've summoned the stampede of infidel feet

For all I ever wanted is all you ever flaunted



Deviate by all means in name

cause we all crawl in quicksand the same

[x2]



Vanish a fifth dementia

tables of ringworms have hung themselves

Disarray...

Communion shaped...



Serpents raise in prisms til rainbows escape



They sent in the necrophiliacs

Carcinogen tartans that smolder in asp

Disarray...

Communion shaped...



Serpents raise in prisms til rainbows escape



Reading from bottomless palindromes

hear my request to be disowned

Disarray...

Communion shaped...



Serpents raise in prisms til rainbows escape



Deviate by all means in name

cause we all crawl in quicksand the same

[x2]
