[Intro - Slow, weeping acoustic blues guitar and vinyl crackle] [Verse 1] (A) The admiral poured a missile in a cup of weeping brass (A) The admiral poured a missile in a cup of weeping brass (B) And the rusted ocean swallowed all the Tuesdays that will pass [Verse 2] (A) Fifteen phantom engines coughed the static from the sun (A) Fifteen phantom engines coughed the static from the sun (B) While the oil bleeds a lullaby inside a blackened lung [Chorus - Heavy, soulful wailing] Oh, the mathematics of the shadow is a suitcase made of rain We are painting all the static with a heavy, rusted vein When the furniture starts breathing, it forgets how to chew And the architecture of a ghost is freezing in the blue [Guitar Solo - Rusted, bending strings, slow and painful] [Verse 3] (A) The falling thunder chewed the gravel where the alphabet sleeps (A) The falling thunder chewed the gravel where the alphabet sleeps (B) And a wooden compass knits a heavy sweater while it weeps [Outro - Fading out, slow tempo] Yeah, the ceiling swallowed November, so I pawned my other knee... Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone. Everyone ...
