Winged Beat Drums

you were all grown up in the dark ages

when i heard you cry \"born at the wrong time!\"

you want to dig a hole

you don't want to stay

you say, \"i know a way.

i know a way.\"

blotted out the sun

with your opposable thumb

but there's nowhere to run

that's where you're coming from

flapping your gums

like a winged beat drums

aaaaaaahhhhh

i know your flight path more than anyone does

cousin

you said, \"life's not a gas

it's a gas chamber.\"

i know you'll follow your nose

to where the vapor goes

feel energetic when you foam at the mouth

the thing that wears you out

an anesthetic

just run

run away

you can jump

you won't hurt your legs

don't come away

from the ledge

when you float away

i will float away

oooh

oooh

i will

float away

i will

float away

i will float away

oh

flapping your gums

like a winged beat drums

aaaaaaahhhhh

i know your flight path more than anyone does

cousin

i feel sympathetic

think i know what it's like

think i like

pissing away a diuretic

sick of laying down

sick of playing dead

sick of being sick

think i'm sick in the head

(a bunch of \"ooooohs\" you know. four of them i think)

run

away

i will

run away

run

away

i will

run away

flapping your gums like a winged beat drums

aaaaaahhh

i know your flight path more than anyone does

cousin
