The Thumbs
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.
If I were more like city girls
If I were more like city girls
If I were more like fancy girls
And thanks little bee
Think of me
Here's four photographs
Just for laughs
My miss shipwreck sinks
Yes she sings
My miss pitchfork pinch
Yes she pinch
My miss sidewalk slips
Makes a mess
Tickle flesh
When the night doesn't want you
And the sounds all surround you
And the steps to the temple
Are the breasts made of puddles
And if I were more like city girls
If I were more like fancy girls
And all my thumbs touch too much
