Milk & Sticks
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.
Born from a soldier's arms
But our spirit keeps a-moving on
One metre at a time we fall
It's a bloody hill in a broken war
We've been singing like a lunatic
Knee-deep in our Milk & Sticks
Just a kid with a broken arm
A slingshot and a hail of harm
Ooh I'm hungry for that feeling honey
Cos it's moving faster than the speed of sound
I left you a lizard by the lake my lover
It was so profound
While we found
While we found
Torn like beaten man,
It's another dog in a foreign land
And keep on carrying a broken stone
New tricks and a buried bone
(We were) born to motivated
Cut off and cultivated
I promise you when the time does come
We'll be down river with my loaded gun
Ooh I'm hungry for that feeling honey
Cos it's moving faster than the speed of sound
I left you a lizard by the lake my lover
It was so profound
While we found
While we found
While we found
While we found
Just like the rest,
You'll be coming back, you'll be looking for paradise
For the silver line
That separates your body from your mind
What a mess we're in
There's a monster in my head
There's an animal screaming down upon my neck
Oh no you better get up my friend
There's a monster in my bed
There's an animal screaming down upon my neck
Oh no you better get up my friend
What a mess we're in
Oh no you better get up my friend
Oh no you better get up my friend
Oh you know you better run my friend
