Lyrics[]

Pulsing pulsing

There's a beat in his arm still

Pulsing pulsing

Like the throb of an anthill

Pulsing pulsing

No death in the rain

I've been washing my hands

In the stuff I wash my brains


I'm pulsing

You're pulsing

Who's pulsing?

What's pulsing?


Pulsing pulsing

There's a lump in his throat still

Pulsing pulsing

At the site of a crash throw

Pulsing pulsing

No push in the vein

I've been washing my hands

In the stuff I wash my brains
