Song Lyrics

New Colossus teaches us the sacred math
Stalks the limits of my living room and cuts me clean in half
Oh time, time, minute hand spins you 'round the plane
Spins the big machine as it descends again

Every tortured day a praying mantis green
Every hiss from you a glimpse into the creep
My limbs would split the wind to fractions of it's shape
Split the big machine and leave you there to wait

Speculator in the New Age town
Spoils the milk and boils the poppy down
Speculator do you crave a sign?
When New Colossus comes for you
When New Colossus comes for you

Out the window trees bend down to kiss my thigh
I multiply and now the earth divides
You spurn me like a dog but now I double back
Dragging big machines and steady for attack

When I strike you, I'll hit goddamn everyone
Like a queen with every hound and every son
Like girls who hike their skirts up high for greedy eyes
I'm the big machine that runs your acreage dry

Give it to me good
Backwards for me good
I'll make a way from no way, good

Speculator in the New Age town
Spoils the milk and boils the poppy down (boiled the poppy down)
Speculator do you long to see

When New Colossus comes for you
When New Colossus comes for me
When New Colossus comes for you (when New Colossus comes for you)
When New Colossus comes for me (when New Colossus comes for me)
When New Colossus comes for you (when New Colossus comes for you)
When New Colossus comes for me (when New Colossus comes for me)
When New Colossus comes for you (for you, for me, for you, for me)
When New Colossus comes for me
