Let's play a little game
On scribbled paper
You guess the letters
And I'll draw the hanging man
[The game of hangman, you have so many chances until you lose, the world has had it's chances, and will still have many more but eventually will run out]
Hint number one is
Five letters inscribed over
The lips of eyeless woman
[I agree with snowman, this does begin fitting the profile of "The Whore of Babylon" mentioned in Revelations, there's multiple beliefs on what it refers to, but I think it refers to society as a whole, so the word "Whore" is branded all over the blind society which has rejected a jealous God, read Habbakuk where God refers to Isreal as a whore which rejected him.]
Asking me for needles and a thread to sew her head back together again
[A quick fix, not searching for God, searching for a stop gap solution]
She reaches forward
And grabs ahold of my sleeve
Her antennae wrap around me
Her lungs infect me as she breathes...
[Not sure, perhaps the enticement of the world and society as a whole?]
The roadkill scent of violent city
[Pretty straightforward, it reeks of death and disgustingness]
Oh swollen anthill sore
[Putting us in perspective, existentially speaking we are nothing more than insects meaninglessly playing out our lives all while death is hovering above our heads]
Insects desperate cries
[Once society realizes it's chances are up, it'll repent "Every Knee Shall Bow"]
Oh infected for
Doomsday stomp from the skies
[The Stomp is coming for them.]
This town made its guesses
But can't spell her own name
[Helps out the "Whore" theory a bit]
A five letter word for the oncoming plague
A stick figure dangling from stoplight grave
