lyrics

Vomit at the border
Of Vegas and Nevada
I’ve been stung
By a snake
In the holiday sun
I could yell for help
But it’s all going on
and on and on and on

It’s just you and me now

Thinking up some common words
To carve into my goodbye dirt
But your damn snake tail
Is going round and round my skull
Come on
Quiet down now
Come on
Quiet down now
Its vomit at the border
Of Vegas and that dull as shit Nevada
I’ve consumed enough
And I’m spitting it back up
There’s nothing at the border
There’s nothing waiting, nothing waiting

Wrap around me
You’re hungry, I’m weak
We get the bad wrap
Wrap your jaws around my body

Nestled in your gut
Your stomach squeezes my eyes shut
I feel your heartbeat
I feel your heartbeat
Its pumping
Hard
Its celebrating
The feast of me

Nestled in your gut
Your stomach squeezes my eyes shut
I feel your heartbeat
I feel your heartbeat
And I begin to pray to your heartbeat
pray to your heartbeat
It’s like any other heart
It wants to live
But could you let me out?
Let me out!

I’ll fix this city
By dumping it in the sea
I’ll fill up the desert
I’ll do anything, anything
I’ll fix this city
By dumping it in the sea
I’ll fill up the desert
With buildings
Buildings
Buildings
Buildings
Buildings
Buildings
Buildings
Buildings
Buildings
Buildings
Buildings
Buildings

Coated
By the snake’s insides
He shrivels up and dies
And – he looks at me
With those dead snake eyes
“Don’t screw this up”

I’m vomit
At the border
Of Vegas
And Nevada
I’m the vomit
At the border
Of Vegas
And Nevada
