Ghost-Tape No. 9 At the Drive-In

[Verse 1]
I used to hear them through the walls at night
Exchanging currents through modicums of pernicious lust
When tamed would always alter the future

In trance amounts played the ritual
Vacuumed the dents under a primer sky
Where a light field once held the promise of closing the sutures

[Chorus]
But the ultimatum clots a tapeworm hymnal
Lost the ghost tape registered as number 9
It’s going to be a long night comin', she said I can never turn it off
Theirs is just a long lost grudge that will never fade away

[Verse 2]
Caving the symptom of confessional
Painted in licorice forgeries
Had she dawned the seductions subdued by the handmaid’s tale

One claimed complacence while the other knelt
He took the prescript off the parlor doors
Swung open but collaterals had altered the future

[Chorus]
But the ultimatum clots a tapeworm hymnal
Lost the ghost tape registered as number 9
It’s going to be a long night comin', she said I can never turn it off
Theirs is just a long lost grudge that will never fade away
