Lyrics In the Net - Donnette Thayer, Steve Kilbey

In the Net

Barracuda metal slips through our conversation\nShifting from insomnia to chaste acceleration\nPeeling out the pages from a book of random lullabies\nSleeping off the chrysalis waking like a butterfly\nIn the net\nIn you get\nWhen you’re standing in the light\nYou can’t see the dark alright\nYou forget in the net\nIn you get\nYou got your ocelot that’s eating up your birds\nAll the empty cages empty just two thirds\nI found that magic lamp and now I got my wish\nBut it’s just another pond and I’m just a bigger fish
