Invalid Litter Dept.

At The Drive-In

    Continues after the ad

    Intravenously polite
    It was the walkie-talkies
    That had knocked the pins down
    These shoes gripped the floor
    In the silhouette of dying

    Dancing on the corpses' ashes

    Yeah, they had plans for him
    They had spun the last of the pimps
    Polyester, satin nailed jewelry lips
    While the guillotine just laughed again
    Dancing on the corpses' ashes

    And the paramedics fell into the wound
    Like a rehired scab at a bare-handed plant
    An anesthetic penance
    Beneath the hail of contraband

    Dancing on the corpses' ashes

    On my way
    Nails broke and fell
    Into the wishing well
    Wishing well, wishing well
    Wishing well

    On my way
    Nails broke and fell
    Into the wishing well
    Wishing well, wishing well
    Wishing well

    They had defected and been excommunicated
    And all the pulses were subverted
    And they made sure the obituaries
    Showed pictures of smokestacks

    Dancing on the corpses' ashes

    A vivid dissection that mocked the strut of vivisection
    Semi-automatic colony
    And a silencing that still walks the streets

    Dancing on the corpses' ashes

    When the company of wolves
    Was a stretcher made of cobblestone curfews
    The federales performed
    Their custodial customs quite well

    Dancing on the corpses' ashes

    Intravenously polite
    It was the walkie-talkies
    That had knocked the pins down
    As her shoes lay dangling from the dirt floor
    In the silhouette of dying

    Dancing on the corpses' ashes

    Yeah, they had plans for him
    They had spun the last of the pimps
    Polyester, satin nailed jewelry lips
    While the guillotine laughed again
    Dancing on the corpses' ashes

    And the paramedics fell into the wound
    Like a rehired scab at a bare-handed plant
    An anesthetic penance
    Beneath the hail of contraband

    Dancing on the corpses' ashes
    Dancing on the corpses' ashes

    Callous heels numbed in travel
    Endless maps made by their scalpels
    Endless maps made by their scalpels

    On my way
    Nails broke and fell
    Into the wishing well
    Wishing well, wishing well
    Wishing well

    On my way
    Nails broke and fell
    Into the wishing well
    Wishing well, wishing well
    Wishing well
