Testo Went To LA

Yes, I still worry about it
Out of self-preservation did I begin with tenderness?
The cannibal dragged his son into the kitchen
Outside, the deaf man fled the barn abandoning every father's image

Sure, sure, I went to LA together with my maid
She was awfully quiet, her hands were shaking in the donkey's mane
I went to LA, searching for my own face I couldn't find it in the dry toothy maw of the lake

Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second—
Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second—
Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second—
Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is—

Thought you summoned horses, thought you summoned childhood
Oh, the humiliation of having been perfectly understood
If I could observe beyond every open mouth
Men always end up telling you the truth, I can see it now
See it now
Every night is a lesson down a long hallway
Good God, this house
Get me away
Sure, sure, sure I went to LA, what other choices could I make?
I sing along the road, an idiotic smile on my face
I went to LA, it was easy in the first place
Wait, wasn't I with a friend? What difference does it make?

The owner of the laundromat gave me a ride home
She said she saw me come in alone

Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second—
Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second—
Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second—
Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second—
Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second—
Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second—
Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second
Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second—
Heaven is a second— Heaven is a second chance
