The Ataris - Eight of Nine (Rough Mix) Lyrics

Lyrics Eight of Nine (Rough Mix) - The Ataris



These hospital walls are the palest of white
Here in this desert they're reciting my last rights
The smell of these halls brings temporary comfort
As oxygen flows through my blood
El Coraz'n was poisoned tonight
She's on her 8 of 9
When half of all your prayers are insincere
The other half are lies
Here is this watermark under this bridge
The point where it crested
Rolled back and drifted into the sea
I climb from this wreckage
As the smoke begins to clear from my lungs
The closest of close calls has happened tonight
It's time that I made things right
For the first time since the last time
Let this moment of clarity
Lift this curse that has been cast upon me
So appreciate the good times,
But don't take the worst for granted
Because you only get so many second chances
