Omar Rodríguez-López
Goliath
[Verse 1]
That night I remember what you slipped in my glass
We came rewinding when
I foamed at the mouth while the lights winked at me
And now my shape is kept
The rain, it can't hide, wash the paint from this hex
Is it so permanent?
Did she catch a left eye when it blinks three times
Or once just to seal you in?
[Pre-Chorus]
In your drunken breath, did it stain like us
In place of poison heat?
I gotta rid this world of your intention
Swap the corpse in the casket
[Chorus 1]
Give me that corpse please, the one that tore nightly
I really want it now
Fold the arms slowly, don't want you to hold me
It fits just like a glove (Does he make you feel alright?)
[Verse 2]
When I seep inside your truth
Through suspicious little coughs
You sank your nails inside a key
While the door you shut closed up
The black stockings you kept smell of wet cigarette
Torn of lust that you could not keep
I have slept inside your fault
To have you keep me here on this leash
For the rest of your pets, I will feed to this theft
As we consummate the vows of defeat
And when you pray for an end to this
I do believe this is eternity
[Chorus 2]
Give me that corpse please, the one that tore nightly
I really want it now
Fold the arms slowly, don't want you to hold me
It fits just like a glove
Your closet is bulgin', white marrow withholdin'
Does it make you feel alright? Yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 2]
Give me that corpse please, the one that tore nightly
I really want it now
Fold the arms slowly, don't want you to hold me
It fits just like a glove
Your closet is bulgin', white marrow withholdin'
Does it make you feel alright? Yeah
[Instrumental Break]
[Interlude]
Yo-do-do-do
Yo-do-do-do
Yo-do-do-do
Yo-do-do-do
[Refrain]
Never heard a man speak like this man before
Never heard a man speak like this man before
All the days of my life, ever since I've been born
Never heard a man speak like this man before, watch me now
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge 1]
Say it, say it, say it loud
Say it, say it, say it loud
Hold your heavy burden
In a pocket full of drink that I have drunk
Spit the remnants in your direction
This is the closest to any kingdom that you will come
[Bridge 2]
I'm startin' to feel a miscarriage comin' on
It's numbin' a stump clearin' in my throat and I just can't lose grip of it
She fumigated my mental hygiene
I'm all out of pulse, but I know you can resuscitate me
[Refrain]
Never heard a man speak like this man before
Never heard a man speak like this man before
All the days of my life, ever since I've been born
Never heard a man speak like this man before
[Interlude]
Yo-do-do-do
Yo-do-do-do
Yo-do-do-do
Yo-do-do-do
[Refrain]
Never heard a man speak like this man before
Never heard a man speak like this man before
All the days of my life, ever since I've been born
Never heard a man speak like this man before, watch me now
