Cat’s Cradle Lyrics by HUMANWINE

for burning cities present

2004

They say the sky will come down flames
But its always been burning
Paled over time the circles that we've burnt
Will come back to feed
At our heels from tail to teeth into the stomach of bile
Trained under God and programmed 'til empty
A husk of human
Until its undone
We're drowning inside
There's nothing inside
Anecdotal we're pinned by locks
Reciting riddles from Rome
Treading deeper on a road
Someone has already named

You stumble through the door and you watch
As the tender pours another scotch
You cradle your hands to light a cigarette
And no wind is in the room
But the perfume, Cheirosa
And the lady in red wishes you were dead
Mmm you wish it too

Go ahead, take it all away!
Start with my brain
See if i care!

Na na na
Na na na na (x3)

She walks in beauty like the night and all that jazz
My thoughts have careened into chaos and now I'm without control
I wanna go
Out onto the street
And me and some random asshole will ensue a violent brawl
For comfort
Alas amongst these bitter biting snakes that writhe about my brain resides
A light
A light of sickening brightness
Unscathed by the filth that cocoons it
Attempting to rock it to sleep
Attempting to rock it to sleep

Na na na
Na na na na (x2)

To sleep (x4)
