Lyrics
Go back to the devil
String of veins all through the treetops
Summertime, airplane crash
Empty my arms of all that pollutes me
I'm a comet, I'm a flash
Bloody leaves should get some reaction
Sympathy for me from the people I love
Flowers and cards to salute me
I'm a snowflake, I'm a dove
And I become the cancer
I become the volcanic ash
I come the sheets of red hot hail
The streets and the blood of my past
Up comes the angel of mercy
Up comes the children of peace
From all the cities I've swallowed
I shall be released
Ring of fire, bring my destruction
Ring of fire, do nothing at all
Ring of fire, deliver me back home
Go on Maxi, get your ball
And I become the cancer
I become the volcanic ash
I come the sheets of red hot hail
The streets and the blood of my past
Up comes the angel of mercy
Up comes the children of peace
From all the cities I've swallowed
I shall be released
It says "St. Louis, the Gateway to the West"
Painted on a roadside barn
We pull it off into a parking lot
Next to a frozen farm
Then having coffee in a truck stop john
One of us is still waiting to pay
Then we're on our way
