Hang me out on a clothing line Cut me open tell me what you find My warm muscles my bones my spine None of those are really mine Burning city gasoline To feed a fire blazing memory I'm running with the bulls The marathon it drowns Way behind the starting line I'm melting in a city swamp A fly could grab my feet And drag me off a cliff If I don't get the fire in me To burn down these mirror cages Lining up the street Scratching out my eyes Turning forward big levers That move my limbs and churn me through This aching temperament There's really no escape Except inside and I've been down there It's just squawking rats and boiling sludge Bite my tongue I know you will Eat it raw send me the bill You're the knife and I'm your fill Sittin' pretty waiting for the kill Burning city gasoline To feed a fire blazing memory My foxhole is a mess It's smoke wafts to the street And creeps into the sidewalk cracks As I starve here inside a glass jar Breathing in this dirt Wandering the mall Without a penny to my name I steal a taste of fountain water This can't be the place I must be in a gap A cloud of dust that's all my own And when I walk it moves around me Babylon is drowned Beneath a pool of mud A lightning bolt strikes down my foxhole All my shit is loose among the world Take a spot in the swarming hive Tumble forward try and stay alive This is hardly getting by Walking 'round feeling three feet high Burning city gasoline To feed a fire blazing memory Eating garbage looking clean Under a slow eruption so serene The hammer strikes down everything And I don't have a mind to shout or sing Burning city gasoline To feed a fire blazing memory
