lyrics

You wanna see a trick?
I am a snails eye
I am the slight of hand
I’m gonna make you cry

You wanna be afraid?
You want an enemy?
Well I’m a punching bag
Filled with melody

You see the landmines?
You see those shot shells?
I am the barb wire
Running parallel

I like the tv
I like a long song
They’re gonna sing mine
When I’m all gone

Reservoir is kinda California
If you close your eyes
I’m whoring out a sirens song
If anybody cares

Lilac light, unhomogenised
There’s a brand new buck at the rodeo
They got a restless heart
It’s a martial art
it’s gonna kick you back to life
Wring the necks of all the gargoyles
Shallow burials
I’m drunk
How ‘bout one last dance at the rodeo?
Before they cave my head in

I’m in the trenches
I’m in the demo phase
I’ve skinned a few cats
In my dog days

I got a red map
I got a green soul
I got white hairs
But nobody knows

How about a stiff drink for the good times?
And the old ones
And the big vibes
On the yellow grass
In the summer time
I’m betting half your luck that’s a pretty sight
