Teflon Lyrics - Octahedron - Mars Volta

Just don't know the layman's terms 

To call the mess you bleed 

Crawls beneath the surface 

Sought blood through a family tree 

The date's been changed 

With each new phase 

I'm anxious bouts of nervous 

What am I without the bruises? 

These switches won't come on 

What do I do to lose it? 

Beneath this distress call 

[Repeat: x2] 

Let the wheels burn, let the wheels burn 

Stack the tires to the neck with a body inside 

Frames of infrared 

Keep scrolling into focus 

Scarab claimed the busy signal 

With the habits that you noticed 

The date's been changed 

With each new phase 

I'm anxious bouts of nervous 

What am I without the bruises? 

These switches won't come on 

What do I do to lose it? 

Beneath this distress call 

[Repeat: x2] 

Let the wheels burn, let the wheels burn 

Stack the tires to the neck with a body inside 

Take in all the hostages 

Into the Oval Office 

Draw the curtains, part their hair 

And pull the trigger softly 

If they have become empty 

Then I'll just take you with me 

One driver in your motorcade 

Is all it takes, is all it takes 

Selling graves in Teflon veins 

Is all it takes is all it takes 

What am I without the bruises? 

These switches won't come on 

What do I do to lose it? 

Beneath this distress call 

[Repeat: x2] 

Let the wheels burn, let the wheels burn 

Stack the tires to the neck with a body inside
