Teflon by The Mars Volta Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I just don't know the layman's terms
To call the mess you breed
What thaws beneath this surface
Soils blood to your family tree

[Pre-Chorus]
The dates, they change with each new phase
I'm anxious bouts of nervous

[Chorus]
What am I without the bruises?
This switch, it won't come on
What do I do to lose it
Beneath this distress call? Oh

[Refrain]
Let the wheels burn, let the wheels burn
Stack the tires to the neck with the body inside
Let the wheels burn, let the wheels burn
Stack the tires to the neck with the body inside
[Verse 2]
Frames of infrared
Keep scrolling into focus
Scarab crank the busy signal
With the habits that you noticed

[Pre-Chorus]
The dates, they change with each new phase
I'm anxious bouts of nervous

[Chorus]
What am I without the bruises?
This switch, it won't come on
What do I do to lose it
Beneath this distress call? Oh

[Refrain]
Let the wheels burn, let the wheels burn
Stack the tires to the neck with the body inside
Let the wheels burn, let the wheels burn
Stack the tires to the neck with the body inside

[Bridge]
Taking all the hostages into the Oval Office
Draw the curtains, part their hair and pull the trigger softly
If they have me committed, then I'll just take you with me
One driver in your motorcade is all it takes, is all it takes
Sandmen grains in Teflon veins is all it takes, is all it takes
[Chorus]
What am I without the bruises?
This switch, it won't come on
What do I do to lose it
Beneath this distress call? Oh!

[Refrain]
Let the wheels burn, let the wheels burn
Stack the tires to the neck with the body inside
Let the wheels burn, let the wheels burn
Stack the tires to the neck with the body inside
