Watching the girl straddle the world   Just like the snake that swallows it's tail   You know that I been where I wasn't seen   Kissing temptation under the veil      I was alone, walkin' back home   When she reached out and took hold of me   Shook my sense out, said not to doubt   That we were naked or you can never go home      Still the sirens sing a whale song   Covered up by machinery hum   While we're kept here separated   And bangin' on our windows      Said we were pent up in an accident   Vergin' on nowhere, oh, we gonna spread   Spreadin' it wide, breakin' inside   And no past to cling to, to turn back the tide      Let the screen fall 'til the heart stalls   Let your chain out, keep your control   While we're kept here insatiated   By the needs we've fabricated      Still the sirens sing a whale song   Covered up by machinery hum   While we're kept here domesticated   And bangin' on our windows      Watching the girl straddle the world   Just like the snake that swallows it's tail   You know that I been where I wasn't seen   Kissing temptation under the veil      Veil, veil, veil   Veil, veil, veil   Veil, veil, veil   ...
