Tourniquet Man

The Mars Volta

I've seen the only living traces
Flicker in the sulfur
The ones who do believe me
Place your favor
Before you lay your question down
There's a matter of the payment to you
I slipped on crooked sores
In conclaves that you bothered

Let me be your tourniquet man
Let me keep you as a favor(x2)

When I hear your fingers
They will spell my name
As I trade the faces of the holders

Let me be your tourniquet man
Let me keep you as a favor(x2)

I can't diminish anymore
If I choose to dissolve in you
There's so much we can lose(x3)
