Since they only publish the lyrics to their songs on a few occasions, nobody knows exactly what he's saying, but it's always pretty great. Some really fantastic lyrics in that song with Patti Smith (in the third video) actually.

This verse is particularly deep:

Code:
I cant look it in the eyes
Seconal, spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene
Cherry-flavored neck and collar
I can smell the sorrow on your breath
The sweat, the victory and sorrow
The smell of fear, I got it
