John Grant - Magma Arrives lyrics

We see our hero in his chambers now
Luxuriating on a water bed
He should enjoy it if he can somehow
Cause soon he'll wish that he were dead
Did you hear the one about the monkey's paw
Some people dig that sort of thing
Well this will be much worse I promise you
He'll never see another spring

Magma arrives with fire in his eyes
He says it's time to fill our hero's veins
With shame that runs so deep
It makes impossible his sleep
Affecting countless destinies and lives
Magma arrives with fire in his eyes
He says it's time to fill our hero's veins
With shame that runs so deep
It makes impossible his sleep
Affecting countless destinies and lives

Your face will melt right off your skeleton
You see his bite is much worse than his bark
You cannot take it back you made your bed
This won't be no damn walk in no damn park
You won't be able to hide anything
There will be no place to put the blame
It's almost tempting to feel
Sorry for you now
But can you guess what is my name?

Magma arrives with fire in his eyes
He says it's time to fill our hero's veins
With shame that runs so deep
It makes impossible his sleep
Affecting countless destinies and lives
Magma arrives with fire in his eyes
He says it's time to fill our hero's veins
With shame that runs so deep
It makes impossible to sleep
Affecting countless destinies and lives

Magma arrives with fire in his eyes
He says it's time to fill our hero's veins
With shame that runs so deep
It makes impossible to sleep
Affecting countless destinies and lives
Magma arrives with fire in his eyes
He says it's time to fill our hero's veins
With shame that runs so deep
It makes impossible to sleep
Affecting countless destinies and lives
