The Mars Volta Lyrics
"Copernicus"

Close the doors
if you want to see her breathing again
Blur the days
sleeping is just not an option
How come every time I walk you crawl
When you cut out all the letters
that make up this note
I won't give up
'til I find what happened to you
The solution inhaled from
the rag I hold
holds a maximum vacancy
As I held you in crippled bandages
Don't you stay up and wait for me

Left dangling in the wind

You're not there
I poke needles
in the neck of a doll
She pokes back
asking why can't
I just let her out
How come every time I walk you crawl
When you cut out all the letters
that make up this note
I won't give up
'til I find what happened to you
The solution inhaled from
the rag I hold
holds a maximum vacancy
As I held you in crippled bandages
Don't you stay up and wait for me

Left dangling in the wind

Don't let these days escape
What I did brings more of them
And we'll be waiting just for them
Over my dead body
Over the search they lead
and they won't find them anymore

Now that I collect
from cells that we once shared
with multi-headed union
of multiple selves
The solution inhaled from
the rag I hold
holds a maximum vacancy
As I held you in crippled bandages
Don't you stay up and wait for me

Left dangling in the wind
