lyrics

I needed friends
but you steered your ship away from me
quartz clockwork beats in time
counting you down to quit
it's not a junk shop
and I'm not about to buy your shit
because your girl quit

as if we need to make a vitamin
to grow eyes on our backs
and see the sharp objects stuck in them
like thumbtacks or an axe
over a sign that says kick me
you've kicked me once
shame on you
kick me twice
and I won't get kicked again

I need a rope but you keep throwing me strands of it
lost out at sea as if the lighthouse was candle lit
worn more days than a junk shop clothes second hand outfit
that don't fit

as if we need to make a vitamin
to grow eyes on our backs
and see the sharp objects stuck in them
like thumbtacks or an axe
over a sign that says kick me
you've kicked me once
shame on you
have kicked me twice
and I hope that I won't get kicked again

[April 2011]
