Lyrics
Thugs
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.
Everyone's got their breaking point
With me it's spiders and with you it's me
Thugs in perpetuity
When we're excited little birds around the feeder
The cat's indifferent or he's just furious, it seems that he's never neither
I do the rolling, you do the detail
I do the rolling, you do the detail
Hairbird plucks a hair from a sleeping dog to build her nest
She said i've looked around and i like your hair the best
I do the rolling, you do the detail
I do the rolling, you do the detail
Ruby, honey, are you mad at your man?
Ruby, honey, are you mad at your man?
Honey, are you mad at your man?
I do the rolling, you do the detail
I do the rolling, you do the detail
I do the rolling, you do the detail
