Cotopaxi - The Mars Volta
When sanskrit was my mother tongue
scarabs filled my pillow
Tarmac strips to pave for them
and thrones from which to teach
And in that pulse the future said
the story had been spun
You wet your bed so sleep in it
cards cant make a house
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs
well be lucky if we eat tonight
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs
thats why Ill magnify a hole...
When lightyears came and lightyears passed
tugging on the brink
Spoils reported missing
put down in its sleep
Strangled in the background
fitted for a mask
The future wont believe you
past the ransom fast
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs
well be lucky if we eat tonight
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs
thats why Ill magnify a hole...
Dont beat around the pulpit
there is no lost and found
Where is the devil waiting?
Trying to disguise
Ive seen what you used to look like
but down here you wont survive
Ive got the weight of half of the world
dont stop dragging the lake,
dont stop dragging the lake
I wont come home if you cant come home
even if you make a grave with my name
Ive got the weight of half of the world
youd better keep on looking for me
I wont come home if you cant come home
dont stop dragging the lake,
dont stop dragging the lake
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs
well be lucky if we eat tonight
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs
thats when Ill magnify a hole...
Find me the head
and Ill show you the body
Lay it to rest
dont say youre sorry
