lyrics

SONG WITH CHORUS
I prescribe
cold infusion of narcolepsi
Take it with gall and wine
and don't call me...

I have traded my words for dirt
and my works for worms
and the smell of dung
for every sweet phrase

The ground surges upward
the moonlight fails
the grass combs her tangled hair
the dead tree falls

I'm so clean tonight not even
moonlight can stick to me.
