Did You See the Words
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.
Have you seen them?
The words cut open your poor intestines
Can't deny when the inky periods drip from your mailbox
And blood flies dip and glide reach down
Inside
There's something living in these lines
And when your newest kisser is peeking
You dress yourself up tonight get all tangled up
In arms and legs it's cramped up
And someone grabs a hold do you go
Oh
Should you go home?
There's something starting don't know why
And in a house so cozy few words are spoken
Let's take our shoes off and unwind
When there's minuets off in the background
Drowning out eyes off ears off test the kiss
Goodnight
A kiss goodnight
Don't keep my loving on my mind
Because it's messy, yes, this mess is mine
Though mine is messy yours is maybe nine
Look we've had similar stitches
Look we have similar frowns
Do the elderly couples still kiss and hug
And grab their big wrinkly skin
So tough wrinkly wrink wrink wrinkly rough?
Did you see the words you know?
(Give me rabies bring you babies at the hospital)
Violent ends with friends that go
(I kissed a few in sticky shoes our cartoon show is broken)
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Oh, oh, oh, oh
