Stephen Malkmus
Kindling for the Master
[Intro]
In shocking white
Too light for light
More like heaven
Angel food rot
Came from the earth
Inside the earth
Jag of hurt time
Head revolving
[Chorus]
Kindling for the master
Kindling for the master
Kindling for the master
Master, master, master
Kindling for the master
Kindling for the master
Kindling for the master
Master, master, master
[Verse 1]
I was shot for meat
And left alone with a crow
Got into watercolors and you never saw me again
But I plan to return
And with verbs I'll attack
I'll trip, I'll maim, I'll leave you with no skin on your back
[Chorus]
Kindling for the master
Kindling for the master
Kindling for the master
Master, master, master
Kindling for the master
Kindling for the master
Kindling for the master
The master jerk
[Bridge]
Everybody's got a heart to sink
Everybody's got a heart to sink
Everybody's got a heart to sink
Everybody's got a heart to sink
Everybody's got a heart to sink
Everybody's got a heart to sink
Everybody's got a heart to sink
How tall the reptile
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
I'm the leech who can preach
They call me Sinister Joe
I got the sweltering heat
Of summer Ohio
If I'm little erratic
You must give me some space
To let me spin it in and out and
Up and through your face
[Outro]
You must learn, you must learn, or you will burn, burn
You must learn, you must learn, you must burn
