starin' out the window of our tour bus,
and it's just the horny driver and us.
we sit and trade wit and smoke and we cuss,
talking 'bout our friendly border drug bust.
and i know the future's cloudy and grey,
record like mine, give up or go gay.
you're looking down at me with blue and black eyes,
spitting down a storm from purple night skies.
and i know the concept's muddy and trite,
that all that is large and all that is slight,
it's flowing in the stream of holy flood lights.
i've read the holy books, lord knows they bite.
but if this is your will and my testament,
i will bow in no believe that they bent.
still, i'm just a sperm begat from your love,
basking in the bread and the blood of one dove.
can i lie with you in your grave?
there's a crack in the edge of the end of the world,
where i will sit with my love in it's flourescent swirl.
eat us up, break it down to the tiniest cell.
in our room with a view of the window to hell-
where those who bury bodies will explain what they've done,
and march through museums that repel what they've done.
shot up through the sky by the cannon of sin,
who reluctantly let them in?
so can i lie in your grave?
can i lie with you in your grave.
and it's just the horny driver and us.
we sit and trade wit and smoke and we cuss,
talking 'bout our friendly border drug bust.
and i know the future's cloudy and grey,
record like mine, give up or go gay.
you're looking down at me with blue and black eyes,
spitting down a storm from purple night skies.
and i know the concept's muddy and trite,
that all that is large and all that is slight,
it's flowing in the stream of holy flood lights.
i've read the holy books, lord knows they bite.
but if this is your will and my testament,
i will bow in no believe that they bent.
still, i'm just a sperm begat from your love,
basking in the bread and the blood of one dove.
can i lie with you in your grave?
there's a crack in the edge of the end of the world,
where i will sit with my love in it's flourescent swirl.
eat us up, break it down to the tiniest cell.
in our room with a view of the window to hell-
where those who bury bodies will explain what they've done,
and march through museums that repel what they've done.
shot up through the sky by the cannon of sin,
who reluctantly let them in?
so can i lie in your grave?
can i lie with you in your grave.

The crowd started singing "Can I lie with you in your grave..." early, he was like "not yet, but that was nice!" They put on an amazing show.
hes talking about god and you think hes going to randomly say
eat a sub?
im not thinkin so bud.
just things i picked up from max's answering sessions via his twitter.
@ummAndrew asks what the deepest song I've written is; probably ahhh men because it concerns god the afterlife redemption eternity etc
@Kozyspike to what extent "ahhh...men" is about god. it's about what i label as god but to other people may be just cosmic oneness
@myleswillsaveus asks if a particular song i wrote helped save my life; i wrote ahhh...men in a dark time in my life and it helped a lot
@RobertLaffoon asks what the most honest song on the record is; probably crush'd or ahhh...men
(seriously minor corrections)
there's a crack in the edge at the end of the world,
where i will sit with my love in it's fluorescent swirl.
eat us up, break it down in the tiniest cell.
in our room with a view and a window to hell-
with those who bury bodies and the barrels of fun,
who will march through museums that display what they've done.
they'll be shot up through the sky by the cannon of sin,
who will reluctantly let them in
so can i lie in your grave at edge of the end of the world
where i will sit with my love in it's fluorescent swirl.
eat us up, break it down in the tiniest cell.
in our room with a view and a window to hell
with those who bury bodies and the barrels of fun,
and march through museums that display what they've done.
they'll be shot up through the sky by the cannon of sin,
who will reluctantly let them in
i believe the first time through he says:
"where the room with the bodies will display what they've done."
the second time he changes the lyrics:
"where those who bury bodies in the barrel of fun
will sit in ideas and regret what they've done."
i think he's also saying:
"who will reluctantly let them in?"
powerful song and performance. I agree with Katie11. As we know from, "Alive With the Glory of Love," his grandparents, were in the prison camp, Treblinka. Max displays his emotion in the live performance because of this. It truly hits home for him.
sub makes even less sense (or more random) then the us to it... just sayin
If it was eat US up, he would've said break us down or something.
US is reffering to two. IT is reffering to one.
US 2 IT 1 doesn't make sense.
SUB 1 IT 1 does.
