La Ciudad

lyrics

In dark narrow streets they tease
Your soul through an amphetamine drip
With latex nothings they find release
On the stage of karaoke worship
So I find myself in the lie of history
The workings of a spider’s embroidery
From the first to the last every word from their mouths
Is like a maggot
It’s eating on my entreaties

Crusted skulls line the avenue
A shadow path to a lost empire
From the first to the last every word from your mouth
Is like a maggot
It’s eating it’s eating me
I see you
La Virgen shows her hips
Selling her soul to those
Patrons
Legends of obscure
Mountain-dwelling whores
Who promise the world

But they’ve never even left La Ciudad de -
A plastic backwater
Imitates L.A.
Clone of a clone
But I see you for what you are
Development marred by
Bordering on the ridiculous

And now the Labyrinth is truly lost
Crawling, crawling to the sacrifice
Eat eat up the dirt of kings
Glazed talons stab at the prize
Living for the chance of a famous fling

So I find myself in the lie of history
The workings of a spider’s embroidery
From the first to the last every word from their mouths
Is like a maggot
It’s eating on my entrails
Crusted skulls line the avenues
A shadow path to a lost empire
From the first to the last every word from their mouths
Is like a maggot
It’s eating it’s eating me
I feel them
Snakin’ on my lips
Adding to death toll
And to their accounts
Extort like conquerors of yore
Coughin’ out much more
Lyin’
But they’ve never even left
La Ciudad de - of their minds
They tie, tie up our teeth
Then later feast on our eyes
To get a hold of the Lion’s mane
A touch of gold to clean the needlin’ shame
And they’ll trample on anything
That tries to bloom on their hearts and their heads
