[Intro Sadistik Astronautalis] I am the only one they made Cast from charming bones and clay On that cold Winters day or so they say We are the last known to exist Hiding shine remote cliffs We prefer it that way Please leave us just like this [Verse One Astronautalis] I used to hammer sheet metal till my palms bled Cash my pay check at the bar then drink the whole thing Catch a pheasant with my bare hands, take her home with me Wake up at 5am and make it back to work to start again Youre sweating whiskey in that first shift By lunch break youre feeling worthless And soon youre cracking jokes with workers By the time the final whistle blows, your bodys feeling perfect So lets celebrate the good times Another round for the old guys And to that pretty thing with glazed eyes I aint asking for a dance, Im just hoping for a great night [Hook Astronautalis Sadistik] Cause when the stopwatch dies we all drop like flies, so whats the point in being free to die Right? You see its not my time, I thought I lost my mind but instead it found a place to hide Keep your fucking keys, I dont need to drive nah, Ill just run for the rest of the night Empty handle with my tongue on the edge of a knife, make me young, make me numb, til my exit arrives [Bridge Lotte Kestner] My heart it pounds, so I cant make out a sound Ive come this far, and I couldnt leave without you now If my heart beats now, then Ill go turn around If you know me, nobody does [Verse Two Sadistik] Damaged goods tend to hide in pretty packages Saddened looks get disguised in witty adages Its our dramatic twist, come watch the magic tricks Abracadabra, necromancer sawed in half again So I mutter some witty quips If love is to give a glimpse, whats under my skinny ribs? A couple of whiskey sips or something to get me fixed Before Im antisocial like its Buffalo 66 in here So is it beautiful or frail? I feel like Ouroboros when Im chewing on my tail The crows can form a chorus when the funeral prevails It shows a glowing orange when the moon is full and pale Wide awake and rueful, looking for a light to break the stupor Of the types of grey that dilate my pupils I can taste the sucrose on the tip of my tonguey tongue From tidal waves Im running from but isnt it funny once its done?
