Lyrics:

There's blood in the sink, and he's plunging his wrists in.

A hangover halo is washing away.

Mechanic-school dropout stares into the mirror,

stands up in his derelict daydreams.

Always too tall,

always walked around wearing a smile that was never quite sure of itself.

Planning a future of failures inflicted in phone calls

from strip clubs and bail bonds.

There's a light left on.

There's a pace to our direction.

There's a movie-still of a heart I'd like to mention.

Don't give me that look,

I looked harder than most did,

let details like sharp nails punch holes in my shoes.

Soft-traced to frown as I put the receiver down.

Where do I go for a pardon?

There's a light left on.

There's a pace to our direction.

There's a movie-still of a heart I'd like to mention.

We're listing what's left: a signed Slayer t-shirt,

A car up on blocks in his mother's back yard.

From W.H. Auden's poem, Spain (1937) lines 101-4:The stars are dead. The animals will not look.We are left alone with our day, and the time is short, andHistory to the defeatedMay say Alas but cannot help nor pardon.

@Scott Barker, it's a toy instrument called a whirlywind (or at least that's what I've seen used live).

This song is quite tedious, but nevertheless enjoyable.

@MrScottbarker I'm guessing its a musical saw, like what's used in Neutral Milk Hotel's "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" as heard heeyaa > /watch?v=lcgyKo7vbm4

Anyone know what makes that warbling effect that starts about 2:59? Is it a guitar effect or keys/synth? Regardless its really cool.
