Xiu Xiu - Chimney's Afire (Mickensian Suicide) lyrics
[Xiu Xiu - Chimney's Afire Mickensian Suicide lyrics]
You had to dig hard
To find the cult of arteries
Astride the great gulf sea
Across Dresden kitchen
Chimney's afire, chimney's afire
The vast deep's surface shines
With gore and spermaceti an outlook certain
Oh, vanity! You are a cutting vessel
Racing with whispered furies
On hellhounds' broken backs
Chimney's afire, chimney's afire
The vast deep's surface slips
With gore and spermaceti an outlook certain
Draw in the line
Don't let it twist or tangle
Bring the beast clear and close
And let your lance drive true
Chimney's afire, chimney's afire
The vast deep's blah-blah-blah
Gore and spermaceti
On that which could not be forgiven
To find the cult of arteries
Astride the great gulf sea
Across Dresden kitchen
Chimney's afire, chimney's afire
The vast deep's surface shines
With gore and spermaceti an outlook certain
Oh, vanity! You are a cutting vessel
Racing with whispered furies
On hellhounds' broken backs
Chimney's afire, chimney's afire
The vast deep's surface slips
With gore and spermaceti an outlook certain
Draw in the line
Don't let it twist or tangle
Bring the beast clear and close
And let your lance drive true
Chimney's afire, chimney's afire
The vast deep's blah-blah-blah
Gore and spermaceti
On that which could not be forgiven
