THE MARS VOLTA
"Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of)"
(Omar Rodriguez-Lopez)

Transient jet lag, ecto-mimed bison
This is the haunt of roulette dares
Ruse of metacarpi, caveat emptor

Half-mast commute through umbilical blisters
Specter will lurk, radar has gathered
Midnight neuces from boxcar cadavers

Cranial bleeding, leeches train the living
Cursed are those who speak its name
Ruse of metacarpi, caveat emptor
To all that enter here

[Chorus:]
Exoskeletal junction at the railroad delayed
Exoskeletal junction at the railroad delayed

[Post-Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
Rattling the laughter, hinges splintering inside
Bludgeoned to a saddle, rang the cloister bell inside
Oh, oh, oh

[Chorus:]
Exoskeletal junction at the railroad delayed
Exoskeletal junction at the railroad delayed

[Post-Chorus:]
It's because this is-
