Look upwhat do you see?
All of you and all of me
Fluorescent and starry
Some of themthey surprise
The bus rideI went to write this4:00 a.m.
This letter
Fields of poppieslittle pearls
All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed
Each and every one a little scary
I said your name
I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars
Hash barscherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
Dreaming of maria callas
Whoever she is
This fame thingI don’t get it
I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
I can take you far
This star thingI don’t get it
I’ll take you overthere
I’ll take you overthere
Aluminumtastes like fear
Adrenalineit pulls us near
I’ll take you over
It tastes like fearthere
I’ll take you over
Will you live to 83?
Will you ever welcome me?
Will you show me something that nobody else has seen?
Smoke itdrink
Here comes the flood
Anything to thin the blood
These corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet
Phoneeat itdrink
Just another chink
Cuts and dentsthey catch the light
Aluminumthe weakest link
I don’t want to disappoint you
I’m not here to anoint you
I would lick your feet
But is that sickest move?
I wear my own crown and sadness and sorrow
And who’d have thought tomorrow could be so strange?
My lossand here we go again
I’ll take you overthere
I’ll take you overthere
Aluminumtastes like fear
Adrenalineit pulls us near
I’ll take you over
It tastes like fearthere
I’ll take you over
Look upwhat do you see?
All of you and all of me
Fluorescent and starry
Some of themthey surprise
I can’t look it in the eyes
Seconalspanish flyabsinthekerosene
Cherry-flavored neck and collar
I can smell the sorrow on your breath
The sweatthe victory and sorrow
The smell of fearI got it
I’ll take you overthere
I’ll take you overthere
Aluminumtastes like fear
Adrenalineit pulls us near
I’ll take you over
It tastes like fearthere
I’ll take you over
Pulls us near
Tastes like fear..
