lyrics

Misogyny and liberty
live peacefully inside of me
Being let go from a fit
That makes us feel inadequate
While wind up robots lie around
searching for more stable sounds
Little toys with little souls
are breaking through and leaving holes

An aardvark stopped me on the stream
and said "I don't know I just know"
He said what doesn't kill you
will sure help you to grow
Moon Junkies wave their hands
at something so unreal
But its okay cause planet earth has lost
Most of its appeal

I lie awake at night and think of all the thinks he said
Unannounced he lets himself through the backdoor of my head
The dog is barren, biting flees
Still she opens doors with ease
My brains to big my mouths to small
When words come out the thoughts dissolved

No matter how you try
Your body doesn't lie
The money is gone when it gets to your hand
Whiskey lullabies turn your castles to sand
