THE MARS VOLTA - The Malkin Jewel lyrics

rate me

I must have crawled through your bedroom door

in a fit of jealous breath

Perched upon the backest 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 her soil.

Because, all the traps in the cellar go clickety clack

'cause you know I always set them for you.

Yeah, for you!

And all the rats in the cellar form a vermin of steps

yeah you know they're gonna take me to you.

Yeah, you!

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 drawers

from the palm of my throne I beckon you

to cut the orchid chord.

Because, all the traps in the cellar go clickety clack

'cause you know I always set them for you.

Yeah, for you!

And all the rats in the cellar form a vermin of steps

yeah you know they're gonna take me to you.

Yeah, you!

[Break]

I know a girl that was woven in spindle and thread, yeeah

Wrapped in a bivouac of taffeta scaffolding red.

She tosses and turns, and wakes all the children in bed, yeeah

Yawning with hunger they take turns of nourishment.

She says, a-a-ah a-a-ah

Somebody somebody h-help me (a-a-ah a-a-ah)

is there anybody out there that can set me free? (a-a-ah a-a-ah)

From the rats to the cellar, does this sound good to you?

Beneath the traps the flesh turns gravel.

X2:

Because, all the traps in the cellar go clickety clack

'cause you know I always set them for you.

Yeah, for you!

And all the rats in the cellar form a vermin of steps

yeah you know they're gonna take me to you.

Yeah, you!
