lyrics
If you're stalling for action, know all your brothers and sisters sound just like you.
Hesitate for a moment. Go ahead, pack up the altar and take it with you.
When you go I promise I will notice. Everywhere you go I promise I will notice.
You leave streaks fucking up the parking lot, mid donut stop.
What's a strip mall cop even gonna do?
We only came to leave a mark - I guess it wasn't very hard.
We've already got a pothole, might as well dig ourselves a moat -
something worth swimming through. Said, I need it deeper.
We've already got a moat, might as well make this house an island,
and it won't change nothing. Said, I need it deeper.
And your pearls came off, and the tide came in.
Said make it deeper and swim.
Hesitate for a moment. Go ahead, pack up the altar and take it with you.
When you go I promise I will notice. Everywhere you go I promise I will notice.
You leave streaks fucking up the parking lot, mid donut stop.
What's a strip mall cop even gonna do?
We only came to leave a mark - I guess it wasn't very hard.
We've already got a pothole, might as well dig ourselves a moat -
something worth swimming through. Said, I need it deeper.
We've already got a moat, might as well make this house an island,
and it won't change nothing. Said, I need it deeper.
And your pearls came off, and the tide came in.
Said make it deeper and swim.
