[Verse 1]

The moon crashed into the desert

It gave me my brand new home

These souls come to feed in my crater, yeah, yeah

I eat 'em as fast as they come


[Verse 2]

I dig your love and affection

I dig your voice on the phone, yeah

So pour some coins in my crater, yeah, yeah

I spend it as fast as it comes, right now

A greased up atomic pavilion

And a great way to swallow my time

But I do think I need a stronger witness, yeah, yes

To watch me blow my mind


[Verse 3]

You ain't digging on my questions

And I know I ain't digging on your lies

Keep on selling me my future

And I'll keep on wearing my disguise

Bullshit may last forever

But my fuse gets shorter every day

And I'll be glad to take your money

But gladder to burn it all away


[Verse 4]

So won't you put my dick in plastic

And put my brain in a jar?

If there's something left of my spirit

It'll find you where you are

Still so goddamn hungry

I'm feeding off my own bones

So lay me out in my crater, yeah, yeah

And nuke me 'til I glow
