Atop A Cake
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I lie on a sofa awake, cause what you said last night:
You'd like us on top of a cake, but you won't let me take a bite
Flowers arriving in fleets, can't we talk about this?
Why let the State in our sheets? Can't we do without 'em?
Well I don't mean to wind you up, but I'd like to slow it down
How do I remain a pup, if you put me in a gown?
What you gonna do with you?
What's you gonna do with me?
How can I lose control, when you're driving from the backseat?
Corners begin to repeat, I think we're getting lost
We walked to the end of the street, but we were bitten by the frost
So if you ever thaw me out, you can put me in a pail
Can we take another route, I don't want to wear a veil
What you gonna do with you?
What's you gonna do with me?
How can I lose control, when you're driving from the backseat?
I'll wait in the lobby for someone to show
And if they don't come, I will know where to go
The bodies are lined up outside in the hall
I don't want to decay in a mall
If everything you say is true, then why would I disagree?
How can I lose control...?
What you gonna do with you?
What's you gonna do with me?
How can I lose control, when you're driving from the backseat?
