The Blood Brothers - The Face In The Embryo Lyrics

I spent seventeen nights
Seventeen nights in the city,
watching the horizon beckon for a buck knife
to bludgeon it's belly, to end the pregnancy.
I've spent seventeen nights
Seventeen nights in the city,
Watching the face in
face in the embryo,
pleading for cesarean, traced by fleshy twilight.

You can see it all from the rooftops
A threatening birth, a threatening birth
A swollen vagina in the sky.
A threatening birth, a threatening birth
[x2]

three shades of blood to soak its death bed.
fiery red for the shutdown of the science bled sun.
viscous black for the sex lives of the science fed youth.
fiery red for the shutdown of the science bled sun.
viscous black for the sex lives
milk white for the impossible vista of the skyline as it shorted out,
and was replaced by a network of newsprint.

You can see it all from the rooftops
A threatening birth, a threatening birth
A swollen vagina in the sky.
A threatening birth, a threatening birth

So close you can smell the morphine in its veins.
