The Requisition

The Requisition - The Mars Volta

Lyrics by：Cedric Bixler-Zavala

Composed by：Omar Rodríguez-López

Once you left tribute of

Carrion piled at the door

Some of it dead but the repo

Man knew she didn't want it

Her heart survived abandoned pasture

Torch the barrels and

Turn the eight into nine

Skin the owls for lookin' away

Loudly draggin' all of her chains

She looks into his pale

Dead stare with laughter

Safe pointing her every move

Hopin' she blocked it out or forgave

The endless treason kills

Her in ways you don't know

Lock him in and watch the fog

Hand me pliers for the root of his claws

Linger in dissociative thunderhead

Infiltrate and speak the tongue

Infiltrate monomania

Linger in dissociative thunderhead

Trust me there's more than one

Way you can skin his atonement

Her heart denied what he redacted

Pour the water and watch it boil

I want all the spoils

They will fill my pockets

And watch them shrivel up in defeat

I won't let you go now

This bag fits you so well

This bag fits you so well

Well watch me whip it

'Til it starts to shriek

Life support keeps turning on and off

Y la muñeca escapó otra vez

Call me down into the Mariana Trench

Se escapó se escapó

La muñeca otra vez

Keep their fences charging at night

Like no one's gettin' out alive

Figures obscure in the frame of fear

You can't stop me

No no no

Over your shoulder is it peace of mind

While you were sleepin'

I was setting the fires

Carrion beetles that

I fill inside of your coffin

No no no

They keep their fences charging at night

And no one's gettin' out alive

Figures obscure in the frame of fear

You can't stop me

No no no

Over your shoulder

Is it peace of mind

While you were sleepin'

I was setting the fires

Carrion beetles that

I fill inside of your coffin
