Lyrics Operate - Little Red Lung

Operate

A million oysters sprout their sea legs
And canvas the corner like they were hunting
A desert underground dries up and drowns
Decades of mismarriages and bleeding hearts
Sleeping the whilst
While they killed our daughter
Double edged blade and the heirs of the slaughter
You have to operate deeper
You have to operate
You have to operate deeper
You have to operate
You have to operate
Kicking dead animals
And looking to the pigs for a way out
Off guard and frostbitten from your fingers to my mouth
Cut into the neck
With your wax hands reaching for the fire
Dozens of trial and errors
Pumping like water
Choking on the board when they crawl for cover
Thick like grease but not a single shot fired
You have to operate deeper
You have to operate
You have to operate deeper
You have to operate
You have to operate
