The Man With the Silver Tongue

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The man with the silver tongue Is cutting off my silver tongue He covers me in soft white clay I kiss his skin with razorblades I paint his face with cadmium He feeds my blood with lithium God made our world just yesterday Our silver tongue inscribes his face The deep red sea is falling back He sews my wound to feed his lack On crosses painted red and gold His skin is fletched and futures told My Jesus of the rotting meat I cut your throat and lick your feet [Verse 2] Our freedom's like the slaughtered pig He screams for love, we murder it The spoon of honey on your tongue I drained it from where his body hung Shining white, and red, and silver love The man with the silver tongue My Jesus of the silver meat I cut your tongue and drink your heat [Outro] Singing, "La, la-la, la-la-la, la" Singing, "La, la-la, la-la-la, la" Singing, "La, la-la, la-la-la, la" Singing, "La, la-la, la-la-la, la" Singing, "La"
