"hello?"
"Hello, mother leopard. I have your cub. You must protect her, but that will be expensive. 10,000 cola nuts, wrapped in brown paper. Midnight, behind the box. I'll be the hyena, you'll see."
this could last us all a lifetime
limbs intact, untouched
on the screen of a video tape
confined to bedposts
we wait as lepers
upheld at knife's reach
we covet all the status quo
this syringe will take a lifespan
it's filled with bait and tackle
try and catch us if you can
sacrifice on railroad tracks
freight-freight train coming
freight-freight train coming
un-un-unconscious tied and gagged
freight-freight train coming
freight-freight train coming
sacrifice on railroad tracks
freight-freight train coming
freight-freight train coming
meet us at the corner
of fifth and pontiac
make sure that no one else
is with you
if you wish to see them alive
again
then humor me with this request
humor me with this request
in basements we will hide
amnesia in our alibis
sacrifice on railroad tracks
freight-freight train coming
freight-freight train coming
un-un-unconscious tied and gagged
freight-freight train coming
freight-freight train coming
sacrifice on railroad tracks
freight-freight train coming
freight-freight train coming
