lyrics

high alien priest in a convertible car
red rimmed eyes
pulls up at a crumbling dive bar
mouth like a bruise, a poisonous flower
says
"I've only got a couple of hours-
about enough time for a drink
and a game of cards"

it's all fun and games
until somebody shows you their heart
on a platter
on a stake
in a riverbed
rusted in parts

give me the salve
and I'll put away my poison dart

drive through cities and ghost towns
find your way back to the stars
and remember me to the one who sweeps up the shards
it was all so real
your grip on my arm
a great storm passing over and on
your death's head smile
the hand you dealt me is gone

it's all fun and games
until somebody loans you their scars
this flesh is a ruse
and a cold collapsing star

give me the salve
and I'll put away my poison dart

high alien priest in a convertible car
red rimmed eyes
pulls up at a crumbling dive bar
mouth like a bruise, a poisonous flower
says
"I've only got a couple of hours-
about enough time for a drink
and a game of cards"
