  • Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay

    Searching for blood in the salty sea
    The sun beating down on the chest and back of me
    Looking for drugs in a southern town, hey, hey, hey, hey
    I've got this red right hand that points me south
    The puke green cloud just spat me out
    Into the hot heartland, I've landed with no shoe

    I hear, hey, hey, hey, hey
    Come pollinate me, hey
    Hey, hey, hey
    Come pollinate me, hey

    Across the room, across the room
    I hope to watch you writhe again soon
    Across the room, across the room
    I hope to watch you writhe again soon

    Alright, we're gonna do it again for you now, okay
    Yeah, oh yeah, yeah

    They've got the army of ears, they can hear you now
    I've got the piss in my veins and these furrowed brows
    You've got this one last chance to burn me, turn me down
    If not, I've got these last twelve bucks to spend on you
    You can take me anywhere your sick mind wants to
    I'll use your south to fuel me using you

    Oh, I hear, hey, hey, hey, hey
    Come pollinate me, hey
    Hey, hey, hey
    Come pollinate me, hey

    Across the room, across the room
    I hope to watch you writhe again soon
    Across the room, across the room
    I hope to watch you writhe again soon

    Oh, oh

    I hear, hey, hey, hey, hey
    Come pollinate me, hey
    Hey, hey, hey
    Come pollinate me, hey

    Hey, hey come pollinate me
    Across the room, across the room
    I hope to watch you writhe again soon
    Across the room, across the room
    I hope to watch you writhe again soon

    I hope to watch you writhe again soon Writer/s: MAX BEMIS

  • Staceey from ., Australiagotta love the "yeah"'s in this and the end of the workcamps line,they are addictive, didn't know the lyrics til just now but theyre really pretty.
    i love "a walk through hell" too
  • Tello from Nyc, Nyreally great song. Say Anything's really good. i loveeee Max Bemis. if you want to check out some of thier other songs try "walk through hell" "i want to know your plans" "woe" "its a metaphore, fool" and "wow, i can get sexual too" there's way more that i didn't add here. Check them out on itunes.
  • Rachel from Boston, Mathis song tells the story of Max's grandparents, who's loved survived the holocost. Of course, the story is told how Max always imagined it =). great song, great lyrics.
  • Mermi from Nyc, NyThere's so many hidden historical facts in this song, that you'd never know unless you've listened to it 5,000 times. For example, they talk about "gold fillings, wallets, and rings" being collected, they claim that their "treblinka", or Nazi extermination camp, is "alive with the glory of love", and how their city will "fall to the Axis". I'm pleased that it wasn't an ignorantly written song. Clever lyrics always surprise me when it comes to music these days.
  • Mermi from Nyc, NyOn the surface, this seems like just another pop/rock song, but it's much more than that. It's actually a love story that takes place during the Holocaust.
  • Maddie from Denver, Cothis is an awesome song. i've come to love it. i think it's such an awesome love song, and i love the meaning of the it. it's one of my favorite songs.
  • Jonatan from PiteaToday was actually the first time i really started to listen to this song.The thing that make this song so great (except the melody) is the lyrics. The lyrics have a wonderful way of describing love, now in the shape "of a Jew living in Europe during World War II" who's trying to prevent his girlfriend from being taken by the Axis.
    There's many "funny" and nice lines from the text, such as - "But Miss Black Eyeliner, You'd look finer, with each day in hiding" , "Should they catch us, and dispatch us to those separate work camps, I'll dream about you, I will not doubt you with the passing of time, oh ya..
    Should they kill me, your love will fill me as warm as the bullets, ya.."
    Anyway it's a great song that I think many people have and will love.
