We've been hanging by
the skin of a last loose tooth
Diggin' through all this synthetic treasure
and all I want is the truth
What order does disdain
chaos condones
Been tryin' to find you baby
in this gulch of lonesome bones
In the breakdown
everything's sirens and catastrophe
All this mortal peril
wont just let us be
Try to love you
through cacophony
They're tearing down that derelict house
at the edge of town
The old man who lives there looks like
a mutant psycho clown
He tried to make a final call
the police had blocked the phones
They buried him when they were done
in this gulch of lonesome bones
In the shakedown
you've become selved separately
One of you is feral
the other's charity
Try to shove you
through the dichotomy
Put me out to pasture
Dotards of a dull rapture
Rules you cannot master
Victims you can never capture
Onward set to wander
into the ever yonder.
