Lyrics

I spent seventeen nights in the city
Watching the horizon beckon for a buck knife
To bludgeon it's belly, to end the pregnancy
I've spent seventeen nights in the city
Watching the face in the embryo
Traced by fleshy twilight, pleading for cesarean
You can see it all from the rooftops
A swollen vagina in the sky
Threatening birth
Three shades of blood to soak its bed
One: fiery red for the shutdown of the science bled sun
Two: viscous black for the sex lives of the science fed youth
Three: milk white for the impossible vista of the skyline as it shorted out
Crackled with static and was replaced by a network of newsprint
You can see it all from the rooftops
A swollen vagina in the sky
So close you can smell the morphine in its veins
