Lyrics
Watching the girl straddle the world
Just like the snake that swallows it's tail
You know that I been where I wasn't seen
Kissing temptation under the veil
I was alone, walkin' back home
When she reached out and took hold of me
Shook my sense out, said not to doubt
That we were naked or you can never go home
Still the sirens sing a whale song
Covered up by machinery hum
While we're kept here separated
And bangin' on our windows
Said we were pent up in an accident
Vergin' on nowhere, oh, we gonna spread
Spreadin' it wide, breakin' inside
And no past to cling to, to turn back the tide
Let the screen fall 'til the heart stalls
Let your chain out, keep your control
While we're kept here insatiated
By the needs we've fabricated
Still the sirens sing a whale song
Covered up by machinery hum
While we're kept here domesticated
And bangin' on our windows
Watching the girl straddle the world
Just like the snake that swallows it's tail
You know that I been where I wasn't seen
Kissing temptation under the veil
Veil, veil, veil
Veil, veil, veil
Veil, veil, veil
...
