BANDIT

(album: HIVE - 2022)

I need to move, sicced on me
Dogs on the loose, soiled knees
My brain's been bruised, I can't see
The signs tell me to turn back, can't hesitate to learn

I'm 'bout to be another bandit, nothing to lose
Swimming through sand, the desert's candid, the dunes will rule
And I can't say they'll find my body, the buzzards brew
Forming a halo 'bove my slaughter, I'm wilting without water

La-da-da, la-da
La-da-da, la-da
La-da-da, la-da-da
La-da-da, la-da

Tease me
Lady mirage does seem to tease me
But if that black blizzard should sleeve that eventide horizon
Don't invite me inside, when I'm at your door, you'll know

I'm 'bout to be another bandit, nothing to lose
Swimming through sand, the desert's candid, the dunes will rule
And I can't say they'll find my body, the buzzards brew
Forming a halo 'bove my slaughter, I'm wilting without water

La-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da
(Forming a halo 'bove my slaughter, I'm wilting without water)
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da

I need to move, sicced on me
Dogs on the loose, soiled knees
My brain's been bruised, I can't see
The signs tell me to turn back, can't hesitate to learn

I'm 'bout to be another bandit, nothing to lose
Swimming through sand, the desert's candid, the dunes will rule
And I can't say they'll find my body, the buzzards brew
Forming a halo 'bove my slaughter, I'm wilting without water

La-da-da, la-da
La-da-da, la-da
La-da-da, la-da-da
La-da-da, la-da

La-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da
(Forming a halo 'bove my slaughter, I'm wilting without water)
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da
