This fame thing, I don't get it
Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
Smoke out, drink, here comes the flood, anything to thin the blood
My loss, here we go again
Fields of poppies, little pearls
(Aluminum, tastes like fear)
(It tastes like fear, pulls us near)
Each and every one a little scary, I said your name
I'll take you over there
Over, over, yeah, look over, oh, there
I'll take you over
I'll take you over there
(Aluminum, tastes like fear)
Look up and what do you see, all of you and all of me?
(Adrenaline, it pulls us near)
I can't look it in the eyes, Seconal, Spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene
There, there, there, baby, yeah
I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
(Tastes like fear, pulls us near)
(Adrenaline, pulls us near)
I'll take you over, take you there
I can take you far, this star thing, I don't get it
Will you show me somethin' that nobody else has seen?
And who'd have thought tomorrow could be so strange?
I'll take you over there
I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars
Pulls us near, over, over, over, over
All the boys and all the girls, sweet-toothed
Cherry-flavored neck and collar, I can smell the sorrow on your breath
I'll take you over, take you there
(Adrenaline, it pulls us near)
(Tastes like fear, pulls us near)
Pulls us near, tastes like fear
I'll take you over, take you there
(I'll take you, I'll take you, I'll take you)
These corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet
I'll take you over there
(Nearer, nearer, nearer, nearer)
(Aluminum, tastes like fear)
Fluorescent and starryand some of them, they surprise
The bus ride, I went to write this four a.m. this letter
(I'll take you there, I'll take you there)
I'll take you over, take you there
Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
(It tastes like fear)
(Aluminum, tastes like fear)
Dreamin' of Maria Callas, whoever she is
I would lick your feet but is that the sickest move?
Aluminum, the weakest link
Phone, eat and drink, just another chink
Cuts and dents, they catch the light
(Adrenaline, it pulls us near)
I don't wanna disappoint you, I'm not here to anoint you
Oh, over, over, let me
I'll take you over
I'll take you over there
I wear my own crown and sadness and sorrow
I'll take you over there
Will you live to '83, will you ever welcome me?
(Tastes like fear, pulls us near)
Sweat, victory and sorrow, the smell of fear, I got it
