City of Dust Songtext

von 31Knots

Just in case we where mistaken
This is dedicated to the messengers of the left coast,
To the bush league soothsayers on the right side.
I don't want to imply that there's a wrong side,
But less we forget that everybody's got to eat.
So, this goes out to all our allies and all sorts,
All those making factual or fiction that we can listen to.
And so, here it is.

Waste not, will not, what not,
What I have not got.
But I got an ink blot the shape of a blood clot,
Clogging a dead heart, beating a dead horse.
Hey maybe we need more maybes and might bes.
Possibly likely,
But I guess we'll just taste test them.
See, that's what he said to me.

Neither twine nor rope nor Holy Ghost
Could bind this man to the mortal coil
Yet with mirth and dust and processed meats
A feast lay there before him

"This is evangelical", he said
He gandered to the right and to the left
Tactile affirmations and obsessive observations
And need i even mention such impressive desecrations

I am the city of dust
I am the cold dark place
I am the half dead flesh that needs no sleep
The pregnant pause
The sound unsung
The gut cut up
The gut cut up in real time
So, you will be mine
