Drag my tongue across the sand So happy just to crawl across the land Soon I’ll be the best around I’m gonna keep my plunder underground Hard flesh cold against the rain Dust billowing around my brazen brain Saw off all my stinking limbs Blood dripping down my sunken money chin Baby can you leave it in the (distant past)? Baby can you leave it in the (distant past)? Girl, I’m from the very very (distant past) Girl, I’m from the very very (distant past) Baby can you leave me in the (distant past)? Baby can you leave me in the (distant past)? Girl, I wanna take you to the (distant past) Girl, I wanna take you to the (distant past) Take me to the distant past, I want to go back Save me from the distant past, I wanna survive Take me to the distant past, I want to go back Save me from the distant past, I wanna survive Two thumbs across the Rubicon Slack jaw but you’ll never be passing it on Plug hole, down the drain you go Your body never made it past the snow Canine fangs about my throat You’re bleeding over Eden like a goat Tall blade dripping in every field I’m blooming like a fuming human shield Baby can you leave it in the (distant past)? Baby can you leave it in the (distant past)? Girl, I’m from the very very (distant past) Girl, I’m from the very very (distant past) Baby can you leave me in the (distant past)? Baby can you leave me in the (distant past)? Girl, I wanna take you to the (distant past) Girl, I wanna take you to the (distant past) Take me to the distant past, I want to go back Save me from the distant past, I wanna survive Take me to the distant past, I want to go back Save me from the distant past, I wanna survive Past, past, past, past, past, past Take me to the distant past, I want to go back Save me from the distant past, I wanna survive
