It wriggles and writhes and bites within
I wondered when this would happen again
But too late for the loved ones and nearly for you
Eat the cactus with bleeding mouth
Eat the cactus with bleeding mouth
Watch the red line creeping upwards
Drink the water with jagged glass
Shaky lines on the horizon
Now I watch the red line, reach that number again
The volcanic depths of Hades' ocean
Drink the water with jagged glass
The blood in our veins and the brains in our head
Not 91 or 93 but 92 Fahrenheit degrees
Just below the sweating skin
Not 91 or 93 but 92 Fahrenheit degrees
Bubble under these crazed eruptions
The blood in our veins and the brains in our head
The approaching unease, 92 degrees
Shaky lines on the horizon
Snakey thoughts invade each person
Watch the sanity line weaken
Snakey thoughts invade each person
Long ago in the headlines, they noticed it too
