Lyrics
Smaller Mammals
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.
Sit around and watch it fall around.
See my hands as my head becomes my knees.
I know i'm right and still i know you're not.
I believe in a lifetimes guarantee.
It's a perfect day watching out in the rain.
The only time i couldn't breathe was when they came home.
Don't stand aside and don't give others gin
But believe in a lifetimes guarantee.
Don't ask question i still can't answer.
Stand aside and let your happy be.
It's a bankrupt way sitting inside when it rains.
I came home and said hello you said i'm still alone.
