Chimneys Afire Lyrics - Always - Xiu Xiu

You had to dig hard 

To find the cult of arteries 

Astride the great gulf sea 

Across Dresden kitchen 

Chimney's afire 

The vast deep's surface shines 

With gore and spermaceti 

An outlook certain 

Oh vanity 

You are a cutting vessel 

Racing with whispered furies 

On hellhounds broken backs 

Chimney's afire 

The vast deep's surface slips 

With gore and spermaceti 

An outlook certain 

Draw in the line 

Don't let it twist or tangle 

Bring the beast clear and close 

And let your lance drive true 

Chimney's afire 

Chimney's afire 

The vast deep's blah, blah, blah 

On that which could not be forgiven
