"Grandfather" lyrics

"Grandfather"

There has never ever been a dull moment
We can kiss the highest clouds
And name them after movie stars

Your fingers, they're flower pots
And as the cuticles crack
The stem comes through
You'll never know a poet's eyes
Unless you see them for yourself
For yourself
Hear me now

After the truth is found there will be a suicide
Hear me now and grant my wishes as sins, not ignorance

Endangered now, with pockets full of oil
All I have left is a facefucking, homicidal waste of time
Take these roads and take them fast

My legs (My legs collapse)
Collapse (In harmony)
With the music
(With the) My legs collapse
(Music) In harmony
(And I) To the music (plummet)
Down, down
Down, down forever

I can write the dialogue to a script about your death

I'm walking across 2nd Avenue
I'm tripping across Lexington
I'm falling down Park Avenue
And dying on Broadway
I'm walking across 2nd Avenue
I'm tripping across Lexington
I'm falling down
I'm falling down Park Avenue and dying on Broadway

We can wish, we can wish, we can...
Wish amongst wish, hope against hope
We can wish amongst wish, hope against hope
We can wish amongst wish, hope against hope

You have become
A new bloody valentine
Over and over again
I've watched you killing yourself

Hold my hand, let's start the decay

One shot, one shot
One shot, one shot

(One shot in the mouth)
You'll never know a poet's eyes unless you see them for yourself
(One shot in the mouth)
You'll never know a poet's eyes unless you see them for yourself
(One shot in the mouth)
You'll never know a poet's eyes unless you see them for yourself
(One shot in the mouth)
You'll never know a poet's eyes unless you see them for yourself
