Cotopaxi Lyrics

When Sanskrit was my mother tongue

Scarabs filled my pillow

Tarmac strips to pave for them

Thrones from which to teach

And in that pulse the future said

The story had been spun

You wet your bed so sleep in it

Cards can't make a house

And up that hill go the last of my crumbs

We'll be lucky if we eat tonight

And up that hill go the last of my crumbs

That's why I'll magnify a hole...

When lightyears came and lightyears passed

Tugging on the brink

Spoils reported missing

Put down in it's sleep

Strangled in the background

Fitted for a mask

The future won't believe you

Past the ransom fast

And up that hill go the last of my crumbs

We'll be lucky if we eat tonight

And up that hill go the last of my crumbs

That's why I'll magnify a hole... Mars Volta - Cotopaxi - http://motolyrics.com/mars-volta/cotopaxi-lyrics.html

Don't beat around the pulpit

There is no lost and found

Where is the devil waiting

Trying to disguise

I've seen what you used to look like

But down here you won't survive

I've got the weight of half of the world

Don't stop dragging the lake, don't stop dragging the lake

I won't come home if you can't come home

Even if you make a grave with my name

I've got the weight of half of the world

You'd better keep on looking for me

I won't come home if you can't come home

Don't stop dragging the lake, don't stop dragging the lake

And up that hill go the last of my crumbs

We'll be lucky if we eat tonight

And up that hill go the last of my crumbs

That's when I'll magnify a hole...

(In your abdomen)

Find me the head

And I'll show you the body

Lay it to rest

Don't say you're sorry
