Moist - Picture Elvis

Picture Elvis
Moist

She breathes through the book
Picks up the knife
Measures a picture there
Now she has lived

Cuts it to wallet size
Now she has breathed
Now she's tasted heaven but the trip doesn't sting

And all she wanted was a photograph
Rain on my tongue
Silver and gold
Feels like I'm tasting god
Drinking the riches up

Back to the night
And if I died
I'm going to ask my questions on the other side
Mask of the city hangs in mock deliberation
And all she wanted was a photograph
I step outside the wire while the sun strips off my cocaine

Bent like a banshee while my cup is overflowing
Another brutal ending I know I'm an animal story telling

And she breathes through the book
Said that she never knew
But answer is hard to take
Question is easy
The binding cracks

The words will fade
But she keeps the picture in the frame that she made
And all she wanted was a photograph
