lyrics

While the mere atropine means no real harm, the crash is a flight from this realm
From my velvety and aniline blue orchid bed

To whom do I owe all this money sent for me with love and forgery
Interstellar freight with invisible couriers

An orchid the size of a man and mesmeric succubi shall sleep with me tonight
Any tricks will be punished with death

I signal to you with my finger drawing figures in the air in my hospital room
We stand still in the air while the vessel’s feigning death

While I travel with fair Helena on her sky chateau island, I would never lead her on
There’s a credible copy of my dead body still in bed

Outside the case and freed from its weight
We’re going home

For I know the world
I have 2000 years on earth and my revolver

Bludgeoned to suspended animation
But impossible to put out

For I know the world
I have 2000 years on earth and my revolver

Captive, breathing prussic acid
But impossible to put out

On this side of the crust
You can never give up the ghost with the one bullet

Condemned to annihilation
But impossible to do away with

Outside the case and freed from its weight
We’re going home
