Cotopaxi

Cotopaxi - The Mars Volta

When Sanskrit brought my mother tongue

Scarabs filled the pillow

Comic strips to pay for them

Fools from which to teach

And in that pulse the future said

Story had been spun

Wet your bed so sleep in it

Cards can make a house

Up that hill go the last of my crumbs

We'll be lucky if we eat tonight

Up that hill go the last of my crumbs

That's why I'll magnify a hole

When light years came and light years passed

Tugging on the brink

Smoldering bullet missing

Put down in it's sleep

Strangled in the background

Fitted for a mask

Future won't believe you

Here's the revered past

Up that hill go the last of my crumbs

We'll be lucky if we eat tonight

Up that hill go the last of my crumbs

That's why I'll magnify a hole

Don't beat around the pulpit

There is no lost and found

Where is the devil waiting trying to disguise

I've seen what you used to look like

Down here you won't survive

I've got the weight of half of the world

Don't stop dragging the lake

Don't stop dragging the lake

I won't come home if you can't come home

Even if you make a grave with my name

I've got the weight of half of the world

You'd better keep on looking for me

I won't come home if you can't come home

Don't stop dragging the lake

Don't stop dragging the lake

Up that hill go the last of my crumbs

We'll be lucky if we eat tonight

Up that hill go the last of my crumbs

That's when I'll magnify a hole in your abdomen

Find me the head

And I'll show you the body

Lay it to rest

Don't say you're sorry
