lyrics

She smoked so many cigarettes
They called her "Dragon Lung"
Black Trumpet blowing away the seeds
That form your bruised arm

And has she guessed my final thought?
That I could scrap away the stone?
Of have the serpent take her home?

But she knows that I will not
For she's a similar attachment
To the new Christ who's dispatching us away

She's not the same

Lopping the ribs
Off the kinder, garden saints
But it's my dream and not their laughter
That she will give away

And there's no poison in this dark
But I'm ignore completely
As she rips their flesh apart

And she tells me to restart
And she calls me on my bullshit
And she runs up to the pulpit, singing

"I know what you're doing but
I know what you're doing but
I know what you're doing but
It's okay

It's all the same
I'm not the same"
