[Intro]
I'm expecting a message
From something out of this world
[Verse 1]
I was told to come here and wait for a signal
I was told to hold onto my head and cover my eyes
So I'm here and the sky's all purple and humming
I'm here and my body’s changing size
[Chorus]
I'm expecting a message
Is there a message for me?
I'm expecting a message
Is there a message for me?
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
I'm expecting a message
Is therе a message for me?
[Verse 2]
Your housе is empty
But the pool is full
And the water's dirty
Yeah, the water's dirty
She smells like a polecat
You listen hard, you can hear her sweat
She likes to stay up till sunrise
To watch the concrete set (Yeah yeah)
She follows this strange religion
That move their dead about and preach
Putting razor wire round heaven
To stop souls from breaking out (Souls from breaking out)
[Chorus]
Is there a message for me?
Gotta let the souls break out
Is there a message?
You gotta let the souls break out
Is there a message for me?
Gotta let the souls break out
Is there a message?
[Bridge]
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Is there a message for me?
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
[Verse 3]
I feel the car's engine stalling
See the fallen angel falling
Vile greasy things are crawling into me
I'm dying on a kind of table
Lying in a kind of room
They're scraping out my soul
In a bath of dirty water
Here comes the humming needle
Here comes the moan releasing
Where is my God when I need him?
Where is my God?
[Chorus]
You gotta let the souls break out
Is there a message for me?
Gotta let the souls break out
Is there a message?
You gotta let the souls break out
Is there a message for me?
Gotta let the souls break out
Is there a message?
I'm expecting a message
Is there a message for me?
I'm expecting a message
Is there a message for me?
I'm expecting a message
Is there a message for me?
I'm expecting a message
But I don't wanna hear it
