Asleep At The Switch Lyrics

Captain, captain

This ship has landed

Bite down on aluminum foil

For aspirin makes you frail

And red wine's dripping

Through pores of crystalline power

Speak softly now

Through the streams

Of audio tape



(I kept my eyes to the storm)

Your hemorrhage must hold together

(You muttered catch phrases)

Wedding rings clasped between your knees

(I drank them in with relief)

As retinas try to put colors together

(Now I'm drunk and needy)

Cause it's your pulse which shares calligraphy



Your pulse must move above 95,

Hoping only that you don't smell those fields of rye



Vocal chords creating beats which pleasure the ear drums of temper tantrums

As retinas grasped what happened last night, as impediments pave a river

Impediments pave

Impediments pave

Impediments pave

Impediments pave

You don't know my position

A river of lime

Hands in the gasoline

A river of lime

And now all we have is progress

A river of lime

And all you have is a scene

A river of lime



You're scared, I'm alive

You're scared, I'm alive

You're scared, I'm alive

You're scared, I'm alive

This note upon the basket case in which he gambled your wine

You're scared, I'm alive

You're scared, I'm alive

You're scared, I'm alive

You're scared, I'm alive
