New Colossus teaches us the sacred math Stalks the limits of my living room and cuts me clean in half O time, time, the minute hand spins you 'round the plane Spins the big machine as it descends again Every tortured day a praying mantis green Every hiss from you a glimpse into the creep My limbs would split the wind to fractions of its shape Split the big machine and leave you there to wait
Speculator in the New Age town Spoils the milk and boils the poppy down Speculator, do you crave a sign? When New Colossus comes for you When New Colossus comes for you
Out the window trees bend down to kiss my thigh I multiply and now the earth divides You spurn me like a dog but now I double back Dragging big machines and steady for attack When I strike you I'll hit goddamn everyone Like a queen with every hound and every son Like girls who hike their skirts up high for greedy eyes I'm the big machine that runs your acreage dry
Give it to me good Backwards for me good I'll make a way from no way, good
Speculator in the New Age town Spoils the milk and boils the poppy down (Boils the poppy down) Speculator, do you long to see?
When New Colossus comes for you When New Colossus comes for me When New Colossus comes for you (When New Colossus comes for you) When New Colossus comes for me (When New Colossus comes for me) When New Colossus comes for you (When New Colossus comes for you) When New Colossus comes for me (When New Colossus comes for me) When New Colossus comes for you (For you, for me, for you, for me) When New Colossus comes for me
