shadows beneath you say essential symphony
discolored eyes watching you from across the doorway
nine hundred bodies lying in the white sand
alcohol driven makes it hard to command
blue venus capsules make the stars glow
silver paper where the mouth should be, I know
hanging upside down from the right side up
hair like houdini, drinking straight from the cup
why don’t you say what you want from me now
every new day brings a whole other crowd
whether they cheer or the pick at their teeth
i’m sitting here with no air to breathe
keys in the stomach always make for a win
glass colored stairways make it hard to fit in
nine hundred bodies just waiting to dine
secretly dancing, no need to control their appetites
red velvet linings, softer than snow
wheels turning slowly, where do they all go
telephone wires sticking out from the back
hair like houdini, they all learn to react
