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
