Zodiac Lung Lyrics
The shape of a zodiac lung
Is beckoning like a bad christ
It hovers above your head
It's pulling the world over my life
If you don't hear a word I'm saying
You can't cover it with your hair
You can't hide it in your army coat
You've got the milltown demon stare
You forgot all the letters that you wrote
You can't hear a word I'm saying
No you can't hear a thing at all
When I die it'll be because of you
There I'll lie and it'll all point to you
It's fuck ups like you that always seem to take it all
It's fuck ups like you that never seem to go away
The shape of the zodiac lung
Is like the shape of the back of my hand
And I'll knock you across this room
And I'll bury my head in the sand
You won't feel my love type baby
No you won't feel a thing at all
When I die it'll be because of you
There I'll lie and it'll all point to you
It's fuck ups like you that always seem to get it all
It's fuck ups like you that never seem to die
I don't know why
Is beckoning like a bad christ
It hovers above your head
It's pulling the world over my life
If you don't hear a word I'm saying
You can't cover it with your hair
You can't hide it in your army coat
You've got the milltown demon stare
You forgot all the letters that you wrote
You can't hear a word I'm saying
No you can't hear a thing at all
When I die it'll be because of you
There I'll lie and it'll all point to you
It's fuck ups like you that always seem to take it all
It's fuck ups like you that never seem to go away
The shape of the zodiac lung
Is like the shape of the back of my hand
And I'll knock you across this room
And I'll bury my head in the sand
You won't feel my love type baby
No you won't feel a thing at all
When I die it'll be because of you
There I'll lie and it'll all point to you
It's fuck ups like you that always seem to get it all
It's fuck ups like you that never seem to die
I don't know why

Nobody wants to touch this one, eh? lol
I don't know what a zodiac lung is, but that's my interpretation.

Pretty sure I got this one.
If you luck up Milltown, you get both a town in NJ, Mr. Wyndorf's home state, and also a sedative drug. So we get a Milltown demon stare, and reference to someone who can neither hear nor feel. So, this song is about being in love with a drug addict.
The 'army coat' is referenced in another song on this album, 'Snake Dance', in the line '. . .we gotta girl in an army coat.' Also, in a live performance of this song, Mr. Wyndorf introduces it by saying that as a songwriter, it is his responsibility to write a love song, but he can never finish a love song, because they get bitter. So this is pretty personal stuff, I think.
