La Dispute - A Word Of Welcome And Of Warning lyrics

rate me

Pick up the phone.<br />

(Blessed be the thief, disguised in skin, <br />

And blessed are the fingers that gesture him in.)<br />

Paint the receiver<br />

To the side of the fake, lying at the bottom of the staircase.<br />

Broken elbows, and your coming through the window.<br />

And whoever called night a blanket, <br />

Had never the felt the cold.<br />

And whoever called the night a blanket--<br />

So use your fingers, darling. and<br />

Tear away at the restraints they call the body.<br />

It's the temporary things that rip us apart.<br />

For the body is but a piece of art for you to tear to pieces.<br />

<br />

This is history to thievery.<br />

These are only games we play.<br />

Hang up the phone.
