If You Never Say Goodbye

Legs of a calf, head of a man

Eyes on the camera shaking everyone's hand

Vultures circle, and smack their lips

Sky goes black as the lightning rips

Stars are mute, moon without pity

As waves of blood roll over the city

It's not a rehearsal, or special effects

It's the end of the story, it's what happens next



And i say (and i say)

It's coming any second

And i say, and i say

In the blink of an eye

And i say (and i say)

With a bang and a whimper

And i say it's okay

If you never say goodbye



Song of a child, song of a beast

As it slouches and slithers

Away from the feast

I dreamt a dream, but what could it mean

Angels in love devoured by greed

All the people danced, tore at their clothes

The sky grew fire, and the oceans froze

It isn't a fable; it wasn't a hoax

Seventeen devils thinking up jokes



(chorus)



I saw a chapel made of gold

The aisle was so blue and the air was so cold

Terrible sound on a microphone

As the rats kept rhythm on chicken bones



People wept, swallowed their jewels

Entered like soldiers, departing as fools

It isn't incentive, it's not a reward

It's a black parachute with a noose for a cord



(chorus)
