Red Rabbits |
| Hurled to the center of the earth again |
| The place where it’s hot love, you know it hurts to breathe in |
| And the watershed you balance on is begging it |
| Well, did he ever know, will he ever know? |
| The trees in the moonshine are a dark lattice |
| So you catalog every angle you notice |
| In a vacuum you are charged to record this |
| So you won’t make it easy on me |
| I can’t go into this no more |
| It puts too many thorns on my mind |
| And the necessary balloon lies a corpse on the floor |
| We’ve pissed on far too many sprites |
| And they’re all standing up for their rights |
| Born on a desert floor, you’ve the deepest thirst |
| And you came to my sweet shore to indulge it |
| With the warm and dreaming eyes of an orphan |
| But there was not enough, there is not enough |
| Out of a gunnysack fall red rabbits |
| Into the crucible to be rendered an emulsion |
| And we can’t allow a chance they’d restore themselves |
| So we can’t make it easy on you |
| Undaunted, you bathe in hollow cries |
| The boys with swollen, sunburnt eyes |
| A reward for letting nothing under their skin |
| So help me, I don’t know, I might |
| Just give the old dark side a try |
| (oh-ah) |
| Don’t cast your whirling eyes on the shore 'til we even the score |
| (oh-ah) |
| I still owe you for the hole in the floor and the ghost in the hall |
| (oh-ah) |
| Who decides who paddles over the falls? |
| Yeah, who makes the call, who makes the call? |
| I know there’s an eventual |
| Release from every scale of crime |
| But the necessary balloon lies a corpse on the floor |
| We’ve pissed on far too many |
| Good intentions |
| Held by clever sprites |
| And they’re all standing up for their rights |
