Rapid Fire Tollbooth

this is actually an Omar Rodriguez Lopez song with cedric guest starring on vocals

I absolutely love the sax in this song.

cant wait for this new album

i think its ive got to rid the world of your intention not attention but otherwise looks bout good other than the mystery blanks

here are the correct lyrics.

you might not remember how we sleep in the past Ill soon remind you when I cut of the hand that was promised to me then well shake on it the stains you cant hide on the smell of his sweat on veins so perminent did you scratch your left eye did it bleed three times or once just to reel you in and your blackened breath did he smell of it to taste of poison sweet i`ve got to rid the world of your intention cut like a stuffed pig gimme that dress please the one that tugs tightly i realy want it now baby put it on slowly i want you to show me does it make you feel alright

you both have some parts wrong:

"__ like a stud pig" or "cut like a stuffed pig" it's actually "Wrapped and cut like a stuffed pig"

also:

"that's starting to catch, smell a wet cigarette and the sweat that just would not siege" is actually "the black stockings you catch, smell of wet cigarette and the sweat that just would not siege."

and:

"i throw ashes at the bird of your bee" is actually "I throw ashes at the burns on your feet"

atleast thats what I heard... Just let me know if I'm wrong or not.

It's probably "stuck pig", which is a pig that's being killed.

My friend wondered if the title is a reference to The Godfather, in which Sonny is killed by a bunch of guys with machine guns at a toll booth.

It's interesting to see the differences in lyrics between this and The Mars Volta's Goliath.

I like Goliath more than this, but it's cool to see where the origins of the song came from. The horns are in a higher balance on this recording-- probably due to less layers of guitars. Oh speaking of the guitar; it's pretty open and airy. It's a cool change from the heavy Goliath guitar part.

I'm pretty sure he says tugs slightly - not tightly

"You might not remember how we sleep in the past I'll soon remind you when I cut off the hand that was promised to me and then we'll shake on it those stains you can't hide or the smell of his sweat are they so permanent? did you scratch your left eye? did it blink three times? or once just to reel you in?

on your blackened breath did he smell of us to taste a poison sweet I've got to rid the world of your intentions wrapped to cut like a stuck pig

And give me that flesh please the one that talks like me I really want it now Baby, put it on slowly I want ya to show me

Does it make you feel alright?

When i peeked inside your room through that rusty bitten lock you sank a nail inside of me left me twenty years too long the black st? you kept, smell of wet cigarette and the sweat that just would not seize i have been for far too long just to keep you here on this leash

for the rest of your debt 'cause i knew you'd forget i throw ashes at the bones of your feet now that you slay with a pack of strays i do believe you're not the mongrel for me

And give me that flesh please the one that talks like me I really want it now Baby, put it on slowly I want ya to show me

Does it make you feel alright?"

These sound a bit more right then the rest of these...
