Look
up, what do you see?
All
of you and all of me
Fluorescent
and starry
Some
of them, they surprise
The
bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 a.m.
This
letter
Fields
of poppies, little pearls
all
the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed
Each
and every one a little scary
I
said your name
I wore
it like a badge of teenage film stars
Hash
bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
Dreaming
of Maria Callas
Whoever
she is
This
fame thing, I don't get it
I
wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
Maybelline
eyes and girl-as-boy moves
I
can take you far
This
star thing, I don't get it
(Chorus)
I'll
take you over, there
I'll
take you over, there
Aluminum,
tastes like fear
Adrenaline,
it pulls us near
I'll
take you over, there
It
tastes like fear, there
I'll
take you over
Will
you live to 83?
Will
you ever welcome me?
Will
you show me something nobody else has seen?
Smoke
it, drink
Here
comes the flood
Anything
to thin the blood
These
corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet
Phone,
eat it, drink
Just
another chink
Cuts
and dents, they catch the light
Aluminum,
the weakest link
I
don't want to disappoint you
I'm
not here to anoint you
I
would lick your feet
But
is that the sickest move?
I
wear my own crown of sadness and sorrow
And
who'd have though tomorrow could be so strange
My
loss, here we go again
(Chorus)
I'll
take you over
It
tastes like fear
I'll
take you over
Look
up, what do you see?
All
of you and all me
Fluorescent
and starry
Some
of them, they surprise
I
can't look it in the eyes
Seconal,
Spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene
Cherry-flavored
neck and collar
I
can smell the sorrow on your breath
The
sweat, the victory and sorrow
The
smell of fear, I got it
(Chorus)
I'll
take you over
It
tastes like fear, there
I'll
take you over
Pulls
us near
Tastes
like fear...
Nearer,
nearer
Over,
over, over, over
Yeah,
look over
I'll
take you over there, oh, yeah
I'll
take you there
Oh,
over
I'll
take you there
Over,
let me
I'll
take you there...
There,
there, baby, yeah |
