lyrics

Look at you, you soulful statue
I’m told that you are quite a catch
In the past I might have passed you for a bad influence
Ooh, Louisiana - a misconception or a test?
Just one more question – I’ll save the rest – what could make this better?

Hey. Pick me up and kick me down.
Hey. Stop. Try not to make a sound.

When it comes to torture, I’m a glutton for it - a sort of distorted connoisseur.
This is what I got dealt. And this is what I felt.
OW! It got my ankle – the poison’s spreading and now it’s tangled with every bite
With which I’ve wrangled – and nothing can make it better!

Hey. Stand real still as they fly around.
Hey. Stop. Try not to make a sound.

The less I stir the less they’ll notice me.
I hear their whir; I fear that they may sting. Quietly… run!

This is getting ridiculous. Is it just us or are we just fussing?
No matter what, it is disgusting, thus we simply must start flushing.
South Carolina. Days down there spent finding strength and winding down
For goodness sake – I’m starting to feel better.

Hey. Take it easy for a while.
Hey. Stop. Did I just see a smile?

Hollowed, but it eases over time.
Following the bees into the light, quietly… right!
