Band: the Mars Volta Song: Televators Album: De-Loused in the Comatorium
———————————————————
Song Lyrics: Here
Genre: Rock
Homepage: http://www.thebedlam.net/
Wiki: Here

Note: “Televators” is a single from the album De-Loused in the Comatorium by the band The Mars Volta. The cryptic lyrics most likely represent the moment at which the character “Cerpin Taxt” (based on a real life friend of the band, Julio Venegas) decides to take his own life. It is very much a ballad, and its overall quiet nature stands in stark contrast to the hard rock of the rest of the album (especially that of the immediately-following closing track “Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt.”)
