The Mars Volta - The Malkin Jewel lyrics

I must've crawled through your bedroom door
In a fit of jealous breath
Perched up on the Bacchus foot
Of your unsuspecting bed
From the blossom rags in my jackal croon
To the stems of the cinquefoil
I give to you the shrapnel with which
To sprinkle in her soil because

All the traps in the cellar
Go clickety clack 'cause
You know I always set them for you
Yeah, for you and all the rats in the cellar
Form a vermin of steps
Yeah, you know they're gonna take me to you
Yeah, to you

You'll wash it down with harlot soap
Well, is this what you want?
I'll paint your steps with the
Lilac stains of smelter revenant


My cutlery is rattling in
The dormant wooden drawers
From the palm of my throne I beckon
You to cut the orchid cord because

All the traps in the
Cellar go clickety-clack 'cause
You know I always set them for you
Yeah, for you and all the rats in the cellar
Form a vermin of steps
Yeah, you know they're gonna take me to you
Yeah, to you

I know a girl that was
Woven in spindle and thread, yeah
Wrapped in a bivouac of
Taffeta scaffolding wed
She tosses and turns and wakes
Off the children in nest, yeah
Yawning with hunger
They take turns of nourishment

And she says somebody, somebody help me
Is there anybody that can set me free?
From the mountains of avarice this
I beg to you my ether turns flesh to gravel

All the traps in the cellar
Go clickety clack 'cause
You know I always set them for you
Yeah, I set them for you
And all the rats in the
Cellar form a vermin of
Steps 'cause you know they're gonna
Take me to you yeah, to you

All the traps in the cellar
Go clickety clack 'cause
You know I always set them for you
Yeah, for you
And all the rats in the cellar form a
Vermin of steps 'cause you know they're gonna
