Goldwing

lyrics

Float towards the door
Hold onto what's yours
Take your one good find
Take it with you on the highway
Take it to bed every night
Watch it open up wide
And burn with the weed
Staining your genes
You're an old star
Burning bright
Pass it off and pass it along to the next collector
Pass it off and pass it back to the store where you got it
Pass it off and put it back into the microphone
Your pants are torn
Your head is shorn
You can't forget you were wronged before
Drop your pins into the holes where they were first formed
Drop your pins with the caps into the collection dish
Drop your pins into the soil and prayer that they are made into gold
Race towards their sharp uniforms
Built up to super-size on platforms
Embrace the soldiers thighs and let them keep what they stole
And dance
Dance until your heart explodes
Dance until you lose yourself
And lose your soul
Dance until your feet fall off
Dance until your feet grow wings and you bleed solid gold.
