Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ The Mars Volta - Meccamputechture ------------------------------------------ Amputechture came Philistine praise Bottomless pit of empty names Incarcerated habit poured from the palms Severing the breast Nursing all the young They needed those locks Of dirty red hair necklace of follicles with sabertooth monocles They want a bouquet of black rose gems castrating kisses stalactite stems They went and built a capsule in the cyanide pond Where the holiest of water would have you to drown Tomorrow we forget Cause now has never left You gotta find my body In the Mecca context You give me a corpse You live in it now you stir from a camp nourishment plows You give me a corpse You live in it now you stir from a camp nourishment plows Please dismantle all these phantom limbs It's the evidence of humans as ornaments Humans as ornaments Humans as ornaments Humans as ornaments Everyone stabs all the time Persuasion deflowers your sympathy Everybody's chosen to help the shovels that bury me This dirt is turning Christ To make repent again So I've heard They're cutting All the youngest ones Said this dirt is turning Christ To make repent his Lust So I've heard that the puppet tugs its pull Please dismantle All these phantom limbs It's the evidence of humans as ornaments Humans as ornaments Humans as ornaments Humans as ornaments Everyone stabs all the time Persuasion deflowers your sympathy Everybody's chosen to help these shovels that bury me Nova meat The Prude slit whisper strapped to unearth Of mantis flowers Prunefingers who tug in a zealot's shroud Abscond supreme truth as it touches this house Abscond supreme truth Please dismantle all these phantom limbs It's the evidence of humans as ornaments Humans as ornaments Humans as ornaments Humans as ornaments Scald supreme truth as it touches this house Scald supreme truth as it touches this house Everyone stabs all the time Persuasion deflowers your sympathy Everybody's chosen to help these shovels that bury me Everyone stabs all the time Persuasion deflowers your sympathy Everybody's chosen to help these shovels that bury me It lacks a human pulse It lacks a human pulse It lacks a human pulse It lacks a human pulse It lacks a human pulse It lacks a human pulse It lacks a human pulse -- Don't know for sure now It lacks a human pulse -- Don't know for sure now It lacks a human pulse -- Ah, ah, ah
