Lyrics
The Sunks
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.
Surrender your furniture,
Push the television out the window.
Overmedicated, this must be the sunks.
So if you can't understand the blues, you dont know much.
With much love for science and youthful defiance,
We struck blindly at the roots of this tree
Its branches got broken, pissed on and trampled.
Oh please forgive us oh mighty shady tree.
Oh please forgive us oh mighty doomsday tree.
It's time to stick your branches in the merciless wheel of time.
It's time to stick your branches in the merciless hoax of time.
It's time to stick a fork in the merciless socket of time.
It's time to be sewn into the limitless fabric of time.
They'll call you emotional when you can't stay sunk.
It's a shame to be so wet so young.
Living your life with much love for science,
And the youthful defiance, we struck blindly at the roots of this tree.
Whose branches got broken, pissed on and trampled.
It's time to stick your branches in the merciless wheel of time
It's time to stick your branches in the merciless hoax of time
It's time to stick a fork in the merciless socket of time
It's time to be sewn into the limitless fabric of time.
