Dale Crover - Five Seconds lyrics

Strolling through the slaughterhouse of love Rags and ruins and stars above I'm as naked as I can be in this life This labyrinth is only one straight line Back and forth, up and down your spine Emptiness of heaven in your ears and my eyes One second - Two seconds - Three seconds Four and five seconds to live One second - Two seconds - Three seconds Four and five is all I can give One one thousand - Two one thousand - Three one thousand Four and five seconds again One second - Two seconds - Three seconds - Four seconds - Five seconds Here we go! You are the air that I breathe! Sweet annihilation in your hands Your own personal Stalingrad I'm just a piece of archaeology in your mind I'll be your private amusement park Rollercoasterin' in the dark Come and turn this nightmare upside down and let's ride One second - Two seconds - Three seconds Four and five seconds to live One second - Two seconds - Three seconds Four and five is all I can give One one thousand - Two one thousand - Three one thousand Four and five seconds again One second - Two seconds - Three seconds - Four seconds - Five seconds Here we go! You are the air that I breathe! (Don't pull my nerve!) All that I need! Our house is burning right before our eyes And ain't nobody a bit surprised You prayed for rain and I fell down all night Love me till the ambulance arrives Until I can't hear the screams and cries And I'll be choking on my ABC's all night One second - Two seconds - Three seconds Four and five seconds to live One second - Two seconds - Three seconds Four and five is all I can give One one thousand - Two one thousand - Three one thousand Four and five seconds again One second - Two seconds - Three seconds - Four seconds - Five seconds Here we go! You are the air that I breathe!
