lyrics

I can get away with it all now
Your eyes are deep inside but I see em
It’s been
A couple years since the war now
I saved the days cause I knew I’d need em

And this is it
I have a mouth for you
And you were there
When he picked your world apart
And you were there, small hands
Yes you were there

I am
Drunk and high and I’m upstairs
I am elegant with my small hands
You wait
And you separate and you call the kids away
As the static turns to noise

And this is it
I have a mouth for you
And you were there
When he pushed your lips apart
And you were there, small hands
Yes you were there

I am
Revolution and I am dead
But I’ve never felt better
He will find you
Far too big for such small hands
Overgrown and screaming for weather

And this is it
I have a mouth for you
And you were there
When he pulled your legs apart
And you were there, small hands
Yes you were there

And I will vouch for you

Picture Pixies and Steely Dan rumbling in a Burger King parking lot. Brass and drone braying from mono speakers. Big choruses, swaying anthems, yelping lyricism, old kids on new drugs staring at stars in the puddles. ... more
