XXIV

[Intro]
Twenty four more
Twenty four more
Twenty four more
My body is a beacon of contagion
My body is a beacon
Oh, I’ll fade
I’ll fall; I’ll fade
I’ll run; oh yeah
Twenty four more

[Verse]
They gotta clean the cages
Everybody out for an age or two
Look at all that I made for you
Wash your dirty faces
Like a plaintive sabertooth
Don’t complain if it ain’t the truth

[Chorus]
Alright; all rise
I’ll wade
Twenty four more steps closer to the grave
Oh, I’ll fall; I’ll run
Twenty four more steps closer to the sun

[Verse]
Clash on, clash on
Pain with the pleasure tacked on
Pastiche of a day long gone
C’est la vie; I’ve got a fatal weakness
I’ve been flayed to pieces
Warm waves will invade the beaches
Okay, okay, okay

[Chorus]
Alright; all rise
I’ll wade
Twenty four more steps closer to the grave
Oh, I’ll fall; I’ll run
Twenty four more steps closer to the sun

[Interlude]
Twenty four more
Twenty four more
Twenty four more

[Bridge]
And my body isn’t
Didn’t wanna
And I got it, now I’m getting it
And my body isn’t
Nobody
I’m a failure at sail in a maelstrom
And a body isn’t
Didn’t wanna
I'm a tool or a fool or an idiot
But that body isn’t
Nobody
But I don’t know me like you do

[Chorus]
Alright; all rise
I’ll wade
Twenty four more steps closer to the grave
Oh, I’ll fall; I’ll run
Twenty four more steps closer to the sun
