Drunkship Of Lanterns

The Mars Volta

You've got the lot to burn

A shelve of pig smotherd cries

Is there a spirit that spits

Upon the exit of signs

Is anybody there

These steps keep on growing long

Bayonet trials rust propellers await



No

Nobody is heard

Rowing sheep smiles for the dead

Nobody is heard

An antiquated home



Afloat with engines on mute

Sui generis ship spined around the yard

Is anybody there

These craft only multiply

At the nape of ruins rust propellers await



No

Nobody is heard compass wilting in the wind

Nobody is heard

Rowing sheep smile for the dead

Tansoceanic depth in this earth



No

Nobody is heard compass wilting in the wind

Nobody is heard

Rowing sheep smile for the dead

Tansoceanic depth in this earth in this cenotaph



Lash of one thousand eye brows clicking

Counting the toll

Counting the toll



You've got the lot to burn

A shelve of pig smothered cries

Is there a spirit that spits upon the exit of signs

Is anybody there

These steps keep on growing long

Bayonet trials rust propellers await



No

Nobody is heard compass wilting in the wind

Nobody is heard rowing sheep smile for the dead

Transoceanic depth in this earth in this cenotaph



Carpel jets

hit the ground

Carpel jets

hit the ground

Carpel jets

hit the ground

Carpel jets

hit the ground



Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking

Counting the toll

Counting the toll

Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking

Counting the toll

Counting the toll
