Sleeping Lessons - The Shins

Go without

'Til the need seeps in

You low animal

Collect your novel petals for the stem

And glow

Glow

Melt and flow

Eviscerate your fragile frame

And spill it out in the ragged floor

A thousand different versions of yourself

And if the old guard still offend

They got nothing left on which you depend

So enlist every ounce

Of your bright blood

And off with their heads

Jump from The hook

You're not obliged to swallow anything you despise

See those unrepenting buzzards want your life

And they got no right

As sure as you have eyes

They got no right

Just put yourself in my new shoes

And see that I do what I do

Because the old guard still offend (their pudgy hearts and slimy hands)

They've got nothing left on which we depend

So enlist every ounce

Of your bright blood

And off with their heads

Jump from The hook

You're not obliged

To swallow anything you despise

That you despise

That you despise

That you despise

That you despise
