Lyrics

Poor old Ra, you were much better off as a sun god, weren't you?
No one gives a shit about your falcon head anymore
It's head sunk down somewhere off the
Coast of New Brunswick or the arctic
Sekhmet sunk with Horus stoned at the wheel
With every oil slick and passing barge
The chances that you are go down
And with your feet in the Egyptian sand
This weak little shell of a man falls away
And I know that the flight of the
Morning's light will not let you love me
And baby you've got stitches that will tell me differently
When it's a patchwork of flicks and something
That sounds like a beat break, bone saws
Good enough for Ra but it's not good enough for me
And as a derelict you climb up slow
But even in the giddy jail you were calico
And as the prisoner in the chain arrives
Cat calls baring teeth come from every side
With every oil slick and passing barge
The chances that you are go down
And with your feet in the Egyptian sand
This weak little shell of a man falls away
And I am the tension, you are the tightrope
You broke the last little straw that was hidden in your own forearm
And I am the tension, you are the tightrope
You came prepared with the gun that was hidden in your own stone vest
And I am the tension, you are the tightrope
Partners now with this ground that is waiting on its king, An Isis
Will steal all secrets
And I am the tension, you are the tightrope
Fanning the fire that's so bright in the collar of the snake, Uranus
And plays with the soul alive
And I am the tension, you are the tightrope
Hathor had changed and the lion that
Will always be combined with secrets
Will kill all approaching
And I am the tension, you are the tightrope
Give me a moment with her mane, I'll see if I can tame the fell beast
And as thought, I will bring her back
