"Then The Clouds Will Open For Me" lyrics

"Then The Clouds Will Open For Me"

My guy is a tad transcontinental
But it keeps me enchained
Watch an old black and white movie
Fred and Ginger are too sentimental
Cryin' in shame, I don't want to be forgotten

I can't be alone
So don't you dare leave me
It's like coming home
To skin that has died
Human voices like a drum
And they're looking right through me
Scatter the ashes one more time, for me
One more time, for me

My guy is a tad too ornamental
When he's frozen in space
Cut your eye far to me
Covered carcasses, too elemental
Caught underneath a subway, I don't want to be forgotten

I can't be alone
So don't you dare leave me
It's like coming home
To skin that has died
Human voices like a drum
And they're looking right through me
Scatter the ashes one more time, for me
One more time, for me

One more time for me, one more time for me
One more time for me, one more time for me
One more time for me, one more time for me
Trans-likened, twisting my ankle
Doing the grave dance
Narcotic? Yes please, I'll have a sample!
Riding on my very last chance
Then the clouds will open for me!
Gonna meet my Jesus Christ!
I see history playing before me
For pleasure and passion, you pay the price
Sadness; the name of the spike that took me
I'm naked, that's all
Like some raging, hard, horny Mephistopheles
Came for my soul
