lyrics

Sine-toned I'm feeling too tapped
My hands spew from a steel gash
It stares back with a big laugh
Splits me into three halves
None for me/Three for you
Never knew if I could get back
To when I never thought about that
But everyone's tired in a big city
'cept all my friends are looking so pretty
Yeah that's you
One for me/Two for you

It's a deep cut that doesn't bleed
All life in a concrete canopy
Tried to cauterize, left no luck in my cosmic lottery
And when we know we've had enough
We're blowing bubbles from handcuffs

Triturated any leisure that I know
Manipulate the chains to form a joy
Limitations made into a toy
All for me/None for you

It's a deep cut that doesn't bleed
All life in a concrete canopy
Tried to cauterize, left no luck in my cosmic lottery
And when we know we've had enough
We're blowing bubbles from handcuffs

Test site mannequins
Nuked and they look up
We're riding the blomb
Blowing bubble from handcuffs
Models that play them
Too pretty to look up
We stay aplomb
Blowing bubbles from handcuffs

It's a deep cut that doesn't bleed
All life in a concrete canopy
Tried to cauterize, left no luck in my cosmic lottery
And when we know we've had enough
We're blowing bubbles from handcuffs

Shit gets so depraved
