After

I slum among crumbs, a spotted shadow
before I become a surrogate republic
for you: O decorated cyborg
O Comrade Snowflake in a lonely pool
 
Before I become a surrogate republic
I blushed fossils with phosphorous
O Comrade Snowflake in a lonely pool
I still sing faithfully to each and every vertebrae
 
I blushed fossils with phosphorous
Is this really your final answer
I still sing faithfully to each and every vertebrae
I kiss each mouth you give me
 
Is this really your final answer
For you: O decorated cyborg
I kiss each mouth you give me
I slum among crumbs, a spotted shadow
