Lyrics
I began to warm and chill To objects and their fields A ragged cup, a twisted mop The face of Jesus in my soup Those sinister dinner deals The meal trolley's wicked wheels A hooked bone rising from my food All things either good or ungood And the mercy seat is awaiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this measuring of proof Of An eye for an eye A tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die Interpret signs and catalogue A blackened tooth, a scarlet fog The walls arе bad Black, bottom kind They are the sick brеath at my hind They are the sick breath at my hind They are the sick breath at my hind They are the sick breath gathering at my hind
