Intro

Hurled to the center of the earth again

The place where it’s hot love

 You know it hurts to breathe in

And the watershed you balance on is begging it

 Well did he ever know? Will he ever know?

The trees in the moonshine are a dark lattice

So you catalogue every angle you notice

In a vacuum you are charged to record this

 So you won’t make it easy on me

Chorus

I can’t go into this no more

 It puts too many thorns on my mind

 And the necessary balloon lies a corpse on the floor

 We’ve pissed in far too ma-ny Sprites

 And they’re all standing up for their rights

Born on a desert floor, you’ve the deepest thirst

And you came to my sweet shore to indulge it

With the wan and drilling eyes of an orphan

 But there was not enough, there is not enough

Out of a gunnysack fall red rabbits

Into a crucible to be rendered an emulsion

And we can’t allow a chance they’d restore themselves

 So we can’t make it easy on you

CHORUS #2

Undaunted, you bathe in hollow cries

 The boys with swollen sunburnt eyes

 A reward for letting nothing under their skin

 So help me I don’t know, I might

 Just give the ole Dark Side a try

Bridge

 Don’t cast your willing eyes on the shore

 ‘til we even the score

 I still owe you for he hole in the floor

 And the ghost in the hall

 Who decides who paddles over the falls?

Yeah, who makes the call? Who makes the call?

(INSTRUMENTAL OVER VERSE PROGRESSION x2)

CHORUS #3

I know there’s an eventual

 Release from every scale of crime

 But the necessary balloon lies a corpse on the floor

 We’ve pissed on far too ma-ny good in-ten-tions

Held by cle-ver sprites

 And they’re all standing up for their rights
