The Mountain Goats, St. Vincent - Autoclave lyrics

Hand me your hand, let me look in your eyes
As my last chance to feel
Human begins to vaporize
Maybe it's the heat in here
Maybe it's the pressure
You ought to head for the exit's
The sooner the better

I am this great
Unstable mass of blood and foam
And no one in her right mind
Would make my home her home
My heart's an autoclave
My heart's an autoclave

When I try to open up to
You I get completely lost
Houses swallowed by the earth
Windows thick with frost
And I reach deep down within
But the pathways twist and turn
And there's no light anywhere
And nothing left to burn

And I am this great
Unstable mass of blood and foam
And no emotion that's worth having could
Call my heart it's home
My heart's an autoclave
My heart's an autoclave

I dreamt that I was perched atop
A throne of human skulls
On a cliff above the ocean
Howling wind and shrieking seagulls
And the dream went on forever
One single static frame
Sometimes you want to go where
Everybody knows your name

I am this great
Unstable mass of blood and foam
And no one in her right mind
Would make her home my home
My heart's an autoclave
My heart's an autoclave
