We Ride Skeletal Lightning

(album: Young Machetes - 2006)

We're the boys jailed in a horse's skull
Nailed our ears to a feral glittery drone
The only thing that makes our blood feel like blood
Is stealing cars and watching lightning bolts fuck
So don't look away, every day's the same
Every song's the same in this sanitized exploding airplane

Well I got shot in the face, it's all on videotape
So c'mon, watch the blood, it's pouring commercial-free
Well I got shot in the face, it's all on videotape
So c'mon, watch the blood, it's pouring commercial-free

We're the girls chewing styrofoam
Pulling out wigs under a monochrome glow
The only line that's talking us into bed
Is the freeway's static hiss drilling holes in our heads so

So don't look away from the clouds leaking rust
The kingdom of heaven reeks of burning witches and dust

Well I got shot in the face, it's all on videotape
So c'mon, watch the blood, it's pouring commercial-free
Well I got shot in the face, it's all on videotape
So c'mon, watch the blood, it's pouring commercial-free

Seven items dripped out the back in my head:
One big war and one color red
One vulgar leg and one designer tree
Two stallions and a pound of confetti

Oh, salvation!
Hollow lightning, so skeletal...
Shipwrecked freeways!
Concrete ribcage, so boring...
Oh, salvation!
Hollow lightning, so skeletal...
Shipwrecked freeways!

Well I got shot in the face, it's all on videotape
So c'mon, watch the blood, it's pouring commercial-free
Well I got shot in the face, it's all on videotape
So c'mon, watch the blood, it's pouring commercial

We ride, we ride skeletal lightning

We ride, we ride skeletal lightning
Vacant as a womb that's miscarried
Vacant as a womb that's miscarried
We ride, we ride skeletal lightning
We ride, we ride skeletal lightning
Vacant as a womb that's miscarried
