Mars Volta - The Malkin Jewel lyrics

<b>The Malkin Jewel</b> by <i>Mars Volta</i><br />

I must have crawled through your bedroom door

In a fit of jealous breath

Perched upon the baptist foot

Of your unsuspecting bed

From the blossom rags in my jackal croon

To the stems of this cinquefoil

I give to you the shrapnel

With which to sprinkle in the soil

When all the traps in the cellar go clickety click

You know I’m gonna set them for you

Yeah, for you

And all the rats in the cellar full of vermin and steps

You know I’m gonna set them for you

Yeah, for you

Wash it down with harlot soap

Well, is this what you want?

I’ll paint your steps with the lilac stains

Of smelter revenant

My cutlery is rattling

From the doorman wooden’s boils

From the bottom of my throat I beckon you

To cut the orchid cord

When all the traps in the cellar go clickety click

You know I’m gonna set them for you

Yeah, for you

And all the rats in the cellar full of vermin and steps

You know I’m gonna set them for you

Yeah, for you

I know a girl that was woven

From spindle and thread

Wrapped in a bivouac of taffeta

Scaffolding red

She tosses and turns

And wakes all the children in bed

Yawning with hunger

They take turns of nourishment

And she looks at me in the great outdoors

And you know what she tells me?

Somebody help me

Is there anybody out there that can set me free?
