I thanked god for my Taco Bell And waited for you to speak I got taller as you cried in my arms I think they shorted me baby The moon's a coward tonight He lets clouds in bed and freezes as they pass him by Stick your fork in the socket Your eyes are a speckled green lightning And your hair is erected like skyscrapers in the big city All on my own, I wander into the poorly lit Bar of America I find dream lovers and myself a fair heir to that mans throne I sit in haste although I have nowhere to be , no one to greet A maiden turns her head to me, Expecting her to speak, I prepare a question about her lineage She remains silent as a politician's mistress and dresses as such I focus my eyes down to the floor as the barkeep drops glass A family tree of poison spreads through the floor, creeping to her shoe She offers me a drink called "i think I know your father" and is confused when I reply "no, thanks." As my body is pulled from the inside to the outer brick, a short-haired phantom pulls on a smoke as the carcinogens seep out through her skirt Nice weather you're having Transparent red fills the street above my battered shell I lie to myself as I lie on pavement "My time has yet to come" I say "I'm still with myself" But everyone crowding the nightcrawler's bar knows they are on the way out.
