Cut the Cord

[00:13.21] I had a dream last week
[00:14.70] Lying on the ground like a piece of meat
[00:17.21] Rotting on a sidewalk somewhere
[00:19.89] People would stop to just stare (ah, ah)
[00:23.14] Had the vultures circling
[00:24.90] I thought at first they were worshipping
[00:27.38] Came to the altar prepared
[00:29.97] Hounds with their canine teeth bared (ah, ah)
[00:33.73] I’ve let ‘em give me life, then they take it away
[00:38.78] I feed myself on everything they’ve got to say
[00:43.93] What would happen if I left ‘em hanging one day
[00:48.93] Write the scripture, take the scissors, cut the cord?
[00:58.58] Cut the cord, uh
[01:06.90] Cut the cord
[01:11.62] “Pretty young thing, ” until you’re not
[01:15.45] “Pretty young thing, ” until you rot
[01:19.53] Then you’re stranded, branded, panicked, frantic, terrified of turning rancid
[01:24.18] ‘Cause a pretty young thing’s as good as gone
[01:28.81] I’m holding on for life, it tethers and it sways
[01:32.93] I feed myself on everything they’ve got to say
[01:36.93] What would happen if I left ‘em hanging one day—
[01:41.73] Write the scripture, take the scissors, cut the cord?
[01:50.53] Cut the cord, uh
[01:58.70] Cut the cord, uh
[02:07.05] Cut the cord, uh
[02:15.02] Cut the cord
[02:20.45] The secret to their beauty is a scary truth
[02:24.22] They’ll drain you dry (make you cry), and make fountains of your youth
[02:28.33] The secret to their beauty is a scary truth
[02:32.30] They’ll drain you dry (make you cry), and make fountains of your youth
[02:38.82] The secret to their beauty is a scary truth
[02:43.17] They’ll drain you dry (make you cry), and make fountains of your youth
[02:49.29] The secret to their beauty is a scary truth
[02:53.64] They’ll drain you dry (make you cry), and make fountains of your youth
