Delilah

Lyrics

It fades You move on Then you serve In daydreams eye this blurry Earth like a sapphire in the sky (once I take my sycophants in a line back to the spaceship) Preen my ego 'til I am an odd mess And I haven't had a drink in seven whole years And I can't feel a thing but the breath of time whispering "you're mine" Rumour has it that you've been mixing sleeping pills and Adderall in a bid to focus on drifting off But lord, it ain't easy in Electric Bethlehem These are the end times, my friend; a reckoning of all "My new king, I seek meaning, I find fools and fiends unfeeling - baptized in bleach and atomized" My oh my The handful of times that I've gone a week without booze I just used substitutes in the hole, and had a good time Then did too much acid and just blew my last chance for a nice year The night grew close, 'twas there I faltered The hooded speck of death had claws and addressed me thus; "I could be your Delilah, man. I was before"
