Tilting at the univendor


I let a sparrow
Talk me out of the crib
Made of mannequin arms & sycophants
She sang her caution
Thrown against the odds
I'm not tilting at windmills
I'm taking my chances

She put the feral
Back inside my voices
I'll take a cigarette &
Put it out on my arm
It's the only way that I can feel
One tempts the saint
While the other takes
The sinner away

The TelePrompTer
Has begun to rot
Where I've carried the blindest items
They'll seem to find a way
To haunt you again
I'm not tilting at windmills
I'm taking my chances

She put the feral
Back inside my voices
I'll take a cigarette &
Put it out on my arm
It's the only way that i can feel
One tempts the saint
While the other takes
The sinner away

Sung by the choir whose lungs are broken
Stung by a million justifications
Swung by the faithful grip
Of a million axes
Sung by the choir whose lungs are broken
Stung by a million justifications
Swung by the disenchanted -
Not faint of heart
Pray that you never find
A place to bury you, bury you

She put the feral
Back inside my voices
I'll take a cigarette &
Put it out on my arm
It's the only way that I can feel
One tempts the saint
While the other takes
The sinner away

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

At The Drive-In was an American post-hardcore band from El Paso, Texas, active from 1993 to 2001. Known for their extremely energetic stage shows which harkened back to the 1980s post-hardcore scene, the band also stood out for their blend of surrealistic lyrics, unorthodox guitar melodies, and unpredictable shifts in tempo and rhythm. Their sound profoundly influenced the alternative music landscape, helping to define the style of contemporary post-hardcore. Among their most representative songs are "In/Casino/Out", "One Armed Scissor" and "Invalid Litter Dept".
