Lyrics
Swell Content
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.
You gotta put one in for another to come
Sacrifice your first then you won’t have to slave a lot
I have been rejected for semesters at sea
Pasting up the walls, should’ve gone for a tapestry
I am not averse to getting salt in my face
Let me marinate a week and reevaluate
The only true essential is your pout in the shot
Don’t complicate the thought, complicate the thought
Put one in and another will come
Throwing out the trail just to get to the trailer park
I have been rejected, though I want it a lot
Spying from the knoll, should’ve shot from the balustrade
Tell me all the truths buttoned into your shank
Are we so similar or was that just a gag?
The only true essential is repetitive speech
Then pose accordingly, pose accordingly
Is it getting old sealing all your kisses with poison?
You gotta put one in for another to come
Sacrifice your first, then you won’t have to wait so long
I have been rejected for most everything
Take me off your list or elect a lobotomy
Take me off your list
