Look up, what do you see?
   All of you and all of me
   Fluorescent and starry
   Some of them, the ysurprise
  
   The bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 a.m.
   This letter
   Fields of poppies, little pearls
   All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed
   Each and every one a little scary
   I said your name
  
   I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars
   Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
   Dreaming of Maria Callas
   Whoever she is
   This fame thing, I don't get it
   I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
   Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
   I can take you far
   This star thing, I don't get it
  
   I'll take you over, there
   I'll take you over, there
   Aluminum, tastes like fear
   Adrenaline, it pulls us near
  
   I'll take you over
   It tastes like fear, there
   I'll take you over
  
   Will you live to 83?
   Will you ever welcome me?
   Will you show me something that nobody else has seen?
   Smoke it, drink
   Here comes the flood
   Anything to thin the blood
   These corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet
   Phone, eat it, drink
   Just another chink
   Cuts and dents, they catch the light
   Aluminum, the weakest link
  
   I don't want to disappoint you
   I'm not here to anoint you
   I would lick your feet
   But is that the sickest move?
   I wear my own crown and sadness and sorrow
   And who'd have thought tomorrow could be so strange?
   My loss, and here we go again
  
   I'll take you over, there
   I'll take you over, there
   Aluminum, tastes like fear
   Adrenaline, it pulls us near
  
   I'll take you over
   It tastes like fear, there
   I'll take you over
  
   Look up, what do you see?
   All of you and all of me
   Fluorescent and starry
   Some of them, they surprise
  
   I can't look it in the eyes
   Seconal, spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene
   Cherry-flavored neck and collar
   I can smell the sorrow on your breath
   The sweat, the victory and sorrow
   The smell of fear, I got it
  
   I'll take you over, there
   I'll take you over, there
   Aluminum, tastes like fear
   Adrenaline, it pulls us near
  
   I'll take you over
   It tastes like fear, there
   I'll take you over
  
   Pulls us near
   Tastes like fear..
  
   Nearer, nearer
   over, over, over, over
   Yeah, look over
   I'll take you there, oh, yeah
   I'll take you there
   Oh, over
   I'll take you there
   Over, let me
   I'll take you there..
   There, there, baby, yeah
