Lyrics
Avocado, Baby
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.
There's no box to tick for red, so I put down blue instead
'Cuz it's closest there's to grey in the categories
And the veins within the whites are a statement of demise
Doe eyes, you should stay at home licking batteries
And I feel like I'm the host of a terrible game-show
And the guests on today's quiz are celebrities
Won't respond to any clues they're just cracking jokes for views
But the answers to these questions mean everything
I had a friend who, had made a flag day
Blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak
I have known friends to crack from love's weight
Blossom in rib cage, until their backs break
Oh, it won't get better
That doesn't mean it's gonna get any worse
You're final draft'a life-long love letter
Signed to the man who will be driving your hearse
Salacia's in the depths, and if I avoid the nets
Threaten "I'll cuckold you neptune" for definite
Meet between the dog and wolf, with the hoarfrost underfoot
And I'll show you every fire in delphinus
(A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy
That's why they call me the avocado, baby
A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy
That's why they call me the avocado, baby)
May she who casts the first fist of dirt across the casket
Have mourners lick the mud from her fingernails
'Tween the breadth'a your arms span I was a renaissance man
Books of lies stacked either side you were my carrell
I had a friend who, had made a flag day
Blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak
I have known friends to crack from love's weight
Blossom in rib cage, until their backs break
(Baby, a heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy
That's why they call you the avocado, baby)
I had a friend who, had made a flag day
Blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak
(Baby, a heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy
That's why they call you the avocado, baby)
I have known friends to crack from love's weight
Blossom in rib cage, until their backs break
Oh, it won't get better
That doesn't mean it's gonna get any worse
You're final draft'a life-long love letter
Signed to the man who will be driving your hearse
I had a friend who, had made a flag day
Blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak
(A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy
That's why they call you the avocado, baby)
I have known friends to crack from love's weight
Blossom in rib cage, until their backs break
(Baby, a heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy
That's why they call you the avocado, baby)
A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy
That's why they call me the avocado, baby
A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy
That's why they call me the avocado, baby
(A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy
That's why they call you the avocado, baby
A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy
That's why they call you the avocado, baby)
