They hit you with their papers when youre living
On loan. theyre the ones who say nothing when you
Answer the phone. you see them in the alleys when
Youre passing late at night, but you tell your friend
To check it and theres no one in sight.
I never wanted it
I never asked for it
I surely didnt sleep with them
If the phone rings, dont answer it
Death is their only way to survive
The neck of anubis strangled by wire
They hold their eyes in their fist
One is fire . . . one is ice
They roll them across the bed like some loaded dice
7 come 11 but I could not stay
I kissed her eyes on the sheets
I took a bus to yesterday
Their flesh is a cemetery, centuries old . . .
You are free as a lap dog
Just do what youre told
They wear spandex and gloves
And feed on fetus flesh
Theyre the fashion rage
Of the empirical age
But I never wanted them
Never asked for them
Didnt sleep with them
Please dont answer it
Death is their only way to get high
The neck of anubis strangled by wire
They say, "ill live for your sins
If you will die for mine . . ."
Ill summon the darkness
If you buy the wine
Theyre all underage
Yet theyre a thousand years old
They make you feel so clever while youre being sold
