lyrics

You took an oath to be someone,
so wash your hands and go.
Give a speech aloud and say that it’s
not your fault ‘cause
you swear you tried.
Then see if you can swallow.

Somewhere in the back of every head
there is a shape that’s dead.
Draw it on a piece of paper.
Press it in a book for later
to come across when there’s a tear to be shed.

Legs like a trunk rooted in cement you poured.
Go ahead and hide your spaded hands
in your pockets before they see 'em.

In a brilliant move of every starway,
I’ll cash a check and stay
and a year or six will flutter
like bats at dusk each summer.
So duck your head and try to get through the workday.

Hey now are you insane?
You will fall and crack your skull, so change.
Hey now do you feel strange?
As a crack forms in your bark is there pain?
Hey now are you insane?
You will fall and crack your skull, so change.
