Copernicus lyrics
by John Frusciante
[Verse 1]
Close the doors
If you want to see her breathin' again
Blur the days
Sleepin' is just not an option
[Pre-Chorus]
How come every time I walk you crawl?
When you cut out all the letters that make up this note
I won't, I won't give up 'til I find out
'Til I find what happened to you
[Chorus]
The solution inhaled from the rag I hold
Holds a maximum vacancy
As I held you in crippled bandages
Don't you stay up and wait for me
[Post-Chorus]
Left danglin' in the wind
[Verse 2]
You're not there
I poke needles in the neck of a doll
And she pokes back
Askin' why can't I just let her out
[Pre-Chorus]
How come every time I walk you crawl?
When you cut out all the letters that make up this note
And why I won't give up
'Til I find you
[Chorus]
The solution inhaled from the rag I hold
Holds a maximum vacancy
As I hold you in crippled bandages
Don't you stay up and wait for me
[Post-Chorus]
Left danglin' in the wind
[Bridge 1]
Don't let the days escape
And what I did brings more of them, and we'll be waitin' just for them
Over my dead body, over the search they lead
And they won't find them anymore
Don't let the days escape
And what I did brings more of them, and we'll be waitin' just for them
Over my dead body, over the search they lead
And they won't find them anymore
[Bridge 2]
Now that I collect
From cells that we once shared
With multi-headed union
Of multiple selves
[Chorus]
The solution inhaled from the rag I hold
Holds a maximum vacancy
As I held you in crippled bandages
Don't you stay up and wait for me
The solution inhaled from your rag I hold
Holds a maximum vacancy
As I hold you in crippled bandages
Don't you stay up and wait for me
[Post-Chorus]
Left danglin' in the wind
[Instrumental Outro]
