Black Wax

Those L.E.Ds throw their glow to the potholed ground

Snap shut as they peer out from a collar

He's wearing your lipstick

And drinking from your glass

Inside there's a drill shot

And buzz through the bathroom wall

Taste it from the telephone hear it in the siren wail

Write your name

In cellophane strips,

Across contours of your bloodied mouth

See a distraction, Over the black wax

Every movement, highlights in yellow

See a distraction, Over the black wax

Every movement, highlights in yellow

From kinky buses to rickets ladders

For a thousand foot tunnel and a world underground

Step out from your heavy breath crouch

Breaking to the point pleased to meet you

Take everything she's got

And wrap it in plastic, wrap it in plastic

Take everything she's got

And wrap it in plastic, wrap it in plastic

Encase it in song and take her ...

See a distraction over the black wax

Every movement, highlights in yellow

See a distraction over the black wax

Every movement, highlights in yellow

I can see a distraction

That mounts this paramount task

And its said with such sadness

That the thrill is sealed in black wax

This ride, so far,

Came and went, here we are,

When they find you, so far

It'll take a miracle, here we are

(repeat)

Here we are, here we are

Here we are
