Ancient Civilization Lyrics by Screaming Females

Singles Too

[Verse 1]
I made cigarette burns in the center of your room
Outlined by the legs of a bug on its back
I poured salt from my palm in the center of your room
Slow and steadily built a bridge on your back
[Chorus]
Ancient civilization
Bring me into your arms
Drain the river that feeds me
You just can't wait to meet me
I'd like to ask the host, can I please stay?
Making the most of our last days
[Verse 2]
Lean into the turn, keeping the pyramid's eye peeled
Three dark stars set in, sink, do the dead man's float
Our nine planets align, mimic linear dance moves
And we haven't got time left to choose
[Chorus]
Ancient civilization
Bring me into your arms
Drain the river that feeds me
You just can't wait to meet me
I'd like to ask the host, can I please stay?
Making the most of our last days
[Bridge]
Peeling the rind 'til it feels good
Peeling the rind 'til it feels good
[Verse 3]
Crunch your numbers with pause, yield implausible 13
Punching cards for the gods so we're charged for the cost
Match the mirror's reflection and see what I see
The mirage is in charge, we'll show them who's boss
[Chorus]
Ancient civilization
Bring me into your arms
Drain the river that feeds me
You just can't wait to meet me
I'd like to ask the host, can I please stay?
Making the most of our last days
