
A tectonic plate is shifting
The seabed's rose to the surface
She's breaking a lover's embrace
Grabbing the knife beneath the mattress

Birds fall from the sky like frogs
Humpback wales starting to get nervous
Adam exposes the gap in his ribs
And Eve plunges her knife in the orifice

At terminal velocity we fall. Naive and inspired, pound for pound
Lucifer's tepid lemmings plunge toward, toward the hollow ground

Now I'm scratching a spider bite, red and puffy
Extracting poison with my mother's lips
Black widows have long plagued my houses
The caves and palaces where I've lived

But I've reacted a moment too late
My toxic heart is beating Tchaikovsky
Eight eyes reflect in the windows
Lovingly, haughtily laughing at me

At terminal velocity we're falling
Naive and inspired, pound for pound
Lucifer's tepid lemmings plunge
Toward the hollow ground

She wields a butcher's knife
A poison bite, a blind-man's bluff
Then perch herself on the widow walk
And search the violent sea for love

At terminal velocity we're falling (in love)
Naive and inspired, pound for pound, (in love)
Lucifer's tepid lemmings plunge
Toward the hollow ground, (with love).

Terminal
