Cotopaxi lyrics

by

The Mars Volta


[Verse 1]
When Sanskrit was my mother tongue, scarabs filled my pillow
Tarmac strips to pave for them thrones from which to teach
And in that pulse the future said story had been spun
You wet your bed so sleep in it, cards can't make a house

[Chorus]
Up that hill go the last of my crumbs
We'll be lucky if we eat tonight
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs
That's why I'll magnify a hole

[Verse 2]
When light years came and light years passed, tuggin' on the brink
Spoils reported missin', put down in its sleep
Strangled in the background, fitted for a mask
The future won't believe you, past the ransom fast

[Chorus]
Up that hill go the last of my crumbs
We'll be lucky if we eat tonight
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs
That's why I'll magnify a hole

[Bridge 1]
Don't beat around the pulpit, there is no lost and found
Where is the devil waiting, trying to disguise?
I've seen what you used to look like, down here you won't survive
[Bridge 2]
I've got the weight of half of the world
Don't stop draggin' the lake, don't stop draggin' the lake
I won't come home if you can't come home
Even if you make a grave with my name
I've got the weight of half of the world
You better keep on lookin' for me
I won't come home if you can't come home
Don't stop draggin' the lake, don't stop draggin' the lake

[Chorus]
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs
We'll be lucky if we eat tonight
Up that hill go the last of my crumbs
That's when I'll magnify a hole (In your abdomen)

[Outro]
Find me the head
And I'll show you the body
Lay it to rest
Don't say you're sorry
