Stone Cold

[Verse 1] This cadaver is quite old Body temperature stone cold The shoulders the right hue Fingers and toes are alike new The elbows are not a lot But I can tell it's been a while since the heart stopped No sound in [?] But there's a little fluid in her left lung The eyes look alive still Mouth is relaxed like she died still Up and for a moment as I race down Ah, it seemed she's released bowels [Chorus] All the books say it's too late If you wait for the blue face Face-to-face like the two snakes On the cover of a book But between us there's other books So let's take another look All the books say it's too late If you wait for the blue face Face-to-face like the two snakes On the cover of a book But between us there's other books So let's take another look [Verse 2] Her brain's damaged and needs more oxygen I can tell you where to get new parts But it starts with a promise that you won't go gossiping Activities maintain with new drugs But new brains don't warm up new blood Lanes reduce as time passes Men in black hats and dark eyeglasses proved An electric shock can start motors Every other things that stop can start over Maybe there's some things to learn from dark code words Maybe there's some folks who seen that she's gone Maybe people study what they're not supposed to Once everybody is sleeping 'till dawn [Spoken] I'm getting a little ahead of myself here but I need to uhm Establish some ground rules you know what I mean? [Chorus] All the books say it's too late If you wait for the blue face Face-to-face like the two snakes On the cover of a book But between us there's other books So let's take another look All the books say it's too late If you wait for the blue face Face-to-face like the two snakes On the cover of a book But between us there's other books So let's take another look [Bridge] You can't just want things like they used to be With no transplants and no scars Just put up with those stars All that light happened eons ago It somehow knows where you are And there are those that reproduce starlight Even though it's not at all far Up close its power's up here There is no far and no near No hello or goodbye Everything dead is alive As it may breathe it's half gone
