City Of Bugs

It came to me like a voice from above Or like a message in praise of platonic love And if you stand in the booth Then you don't have to sit with a stranger A perfumed gust drifts to my core I give you one last look Through a cross-hatched door But I'm messed up baby Like the Berlin Wall Tonight It came to me like a voice from above Or like a message in praise of platonic love But I'm messed up baby Like the Berlin Wall Tonight You feel the rape in the city of bugs Fill the hole with glass Vessels burst after love But don't go too long without letting them know That you're there A perfumed gust drifts to my core I give it one last look It was a cross-hatched door But I'm messed up baby Like the Berlin Wall Tonight You came into reach Like the Serpent and Peach Came to me in the dream That contractions set free But it's never too late to admit to me That you're worried Never a choice Don't remember your voice I was born out of glass I'll return there at last In a shattering climax The wall falls It came to me like a voice from above Or like a message in praise of platonic love And if you stand in the booth Then you don't have to sit with a stranger You feel the rape in the city of bugs Fill the hole with glass Vessels burst after love But don't go too long without letting them know That you're there Never a choice Don't remember your voice I was born out of glass I'll return there at last In a shattering climax For left out children to carry A world without sin is a laughable thing So go out on a limb Take a stone for a swim In a shatterin' climax The wall falls --- City of Bugs - The Cribs
