Distant Past

Drag my tongue across the sand
So happy just to crawl across the land

Soon I'll be the best around
I'm gonna keep my plunder underground

Hard flesh, cold against the rain
Dust billowing around my brazen brain

Saw off all my stinking limbs
Blood dripping down my sunken monkey chin

Baby can you leave it in the (distant past)
Baby can you leave it in the (distant past)
Girl I'm from the very very (distant past)
Girl I'm from the very very (distant past)
Baby can leave me in the (distant past)
Baby can leave me in the (distant past)
Girl I wanna take you to the (distant past)
Girl I wanna take you to the (distant past)

Take me to the distant past
I want to go back
Save me from the distant past
I want this so bad

Take me to the distant past
I want to go back
Save me from the distant past
I want this so bad

Two thumbs, I cross the Rubicon
Slack-jawed but you'll never be passing it on

Plug hole, down the drain you go
Your body never made it past the snow

Canine, fangs up out my throat
You're bleeding over Eden like a goat

Tall blade, a Triffid in every field
I'm blooming like a fuming human shield

Baby can you leave it in the (distant past)
Baby can you leave it in the (distant past)
Girl I'm from the very very (distant past)
Girl I'm from the very very (distant past)
Baby can leave me in the (distant past)
Baby can leave me in the (distant past)
Girl I wanna take you to the (distant past)
Girl I wanna take you to the (distant past)

Take me to the distant past
I want to go back
Save me from the distant past
I want this so bad

Take me to the distant past
I want to go back
Save me from the distant past
I want this so bad

Past!
The past!
I'm back!
I'm bad!

Take me to the distant past
I want to go back
Save me from the distant past
I want this so bad
