Tumor Circus - Calcutta A Go-Go lyrics

rate me

Two skeletons embrace

Atop a human brain

Revolving sunset glare

Frosts the folds

They stretch across the wrinkles

Like a nude Marilyn Monroe

Clatter their teeth

And take a bite of the soil

Rock back and forth

Screaming at the sky

Where is our God?

We wanna love you but why?

Slices of our mind

Point to different paths

Only one might grant a taste

Of eternal peace

Dip your toe in the ice

Scratch your head, find lice

Crawling out from your fingernail

Calcutta-A-Go-Go

Transfixed as the world turns

More and more like Calcutta

Trampling heat of life in a shrinking cage

More and more crowded into less

Writing drips from the walls

So thin they wilt

With the next monsoon

Who will survive?

The people or the snakes?

The sharks? The roaches?

Or the rats?

Who are we to tell ourselves

That the pinnacle

Of evolution

Is the human race

Trickling diwn through your gums

Nothing tastes quite right

I wave my antennae

Calcutta-A-Go-Go

Eye to eye

Kali Yuga

Feeding on a host who gave up to soon

Let's ride the falling stars

To the ruins of the old gold mine

Rub the rust and splinters into our wounds

Roll and grind on the old slag heap

At the edge of the shafts of darkness

That plunge so far below

Drop a rock down

There's no splash

Silence...

No dust, no clues, no ash

Echo back

Spellbound jaws 'neath the balcony

Possum tailed from the Lemming tree

Plug-in Evita waves

And flashes a peroxide smile-

Goodbye

Follow hope upstream

As we're swept downstream

Godot fell asleep at the wheel somewhere

Calcutta-A-Go-Go

Oh oh oh

Our heads are in the sand at high noon
