lyrics

Watch the curtains breathe for an hour
Before deciding it’s time to get up
Don’t really need to go and have a shower
But I need to walk the pup

She turned both fans on in the middle of the night
Oscillating your throat into space
Nobody can hear you out there but down here
You have found the perfect place

It’s okay, she’ll be back home just after 4
She’ll get you grounded, at least on the right floor
So open your mouth first and you’ll be fine
She’s can tell the future but she can’t read your mind

Watch enough tv to fill a week,
Then make lunch with two square eyes
Don’t really have much else to go and get done
But do really need to stop telling myself that lie

She knows that you’ve got this whole part of your life
That you know you could work harder on
Don’t really think sinking further into the couch
Will really point you in the right direction

It’s okay, she’ll be back home just after 4
So go get something done before she walks through the door
And open your mouth before you go to bed
She can help you, but she needs to be awake to hear what you’ve said

Be a real man, don’t screw the lid on the bottle
Don’t let it all set to have your soul throttled
Now there’s someone in your life you thought you’d never find
Now that you’ve found your best friend for life

This one took a few listens. The first time, it went in all at once, like a corkscrew punched through the soft slab of abdomen, there on my side. I hardly noticed. Then it started to jiggle and wriggle around in there, and slowly — twist by twist, track by track — I came to realize what a bloody, brilliant mess I had on my hands. veryvery
