Song Lyrics

Look up, what do you see?All of you and all of meFluorescent and starrySome of them, they surpriseThe bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 a.m.This letterFields of poppies, little pearlsAll the boys and all the girls sweet-toothedEach and every one a little scaryI said your nameI wore it like a badge of teenage film starsHash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiarasDreaming of Maria CallasWhoever she isThis fame thing, I don`t get itI wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through itMaybelline eyes and girl-as-boy movesI can take you far This star thing, I don`t get itI`ll take you over, thereI`ll take you over, thereAluminum, tastes like fearAdrenaline, it pulls us nearI`ll take you overIt tastes like fear, thereI`ll take you overWill you live to 83?Will you ever welcome me?Will you show me something that nobody else has seen?Smoke it, drinkHere comes the floodAnything to thin the bloodThese corrosives do their magic slowly and sweetPhone, eat it, drinkJust another chinkCuts and dents, they catch the lightAluminum, the weakest linkI don`t want to disappoint youI`m not here to anoint youI would lick your feetBut is that the sickest move?I wear my own crown and sadness and sorrowAnd who`d have thought tomorrow could be so strange?My loss, and here we go againI`ll take you over, thereI`ll take you over, thereAluminum, tastes like fearAdrenaline, it pulls us nearI`ll take you overIt tastes like fear, thereI`ll take you overLook up, what do you see?All of you and all of meFluorescent and starrySome of them, they surpriseI can`t look it in the eyesSeconal, Spanish fly, absinthe, keroseneCherry-flavored neck and collarI can smell the sorrow on your breathThe sweat, the victory and sorrowThe smell of fear, I got itI`ll take you over, thereI`ll take you over, thereAluminum, tastes like fearAdrenaline, it pulls us nearI`ll take you overIt tastes like fear, thereI`ll take you overPulls us nearTastes like fear.Nearer, nearerOver, over, over, overYeah, look overI`ll take you there, oh, yeahI`ll take you thereOh, overI`ll take you thereOver, let meI`ll take you there..There, there, baby, yeah
