...The slow circling of the drain

How could you let it in your house
And let it in your bed
To where the wall inlay another shiv instead
So how did it taste when you kiss it on the face
To when the blue eyes sail in from the north
I guess you do what you do if you need to fill some empty space

Anything you need from me, the eight arms around you?
Another heart to pound for you?
Another set of awkward lungs, we breathe up the air of men
We don't pretend a liver, a lung, a kidney, a thumb
Lies in some heart of some beloved
Because the best part is you never know just what they're capable of

Sleep with the fishes

(No one really knows anyone
No one really knows anyone
No one really knows anyone
No one really knows anyone
No one really knows anyone
No one really knows anyone
No one really knows anyone
No one really knows anyone)

We do what we do to fill the empty space
We do what we do to fill the empty space
So what do I do, I'm running out of space!
What do I do when the claw digs in
And pulls me to the place

You'll never live to see the ocean
You'll never live to see the sky
You'll never live to see any garden
Or drag your river and comply

So clamp it like a compass
And let me know where I should be
And when it's cold and snowy
Melt the blood you froze in me

I smell it on the sheets for days
I smell it in my room
I smell it on my hands for weeks
These dirty hands all over you

Anything you need from me, the eight arms around you?
Another heart to pound for you?
Another set of awkward lungs, we breathe up the air of men
We don't pretend a liver, a lung, a kidney, a thumb
Lies in some heart of some beloved
Because the best part is, the best part is

Sleep with the fishes
Sleep with the fishes
Sleep with the fishes
Sleep with the fishes
Before I sleep with you

My little nest of vipers
My little "miss know it all"
My little nest of vipers
My little "miss know it all"

Drive carefully dear
