Pilo Erection

(album: Renaissance Men - 2019)

Don't be scared of me, just be there for me
I'm aware I need somewhere to share my energy
I know that I don't know you
I'll never want to own you
But I'm someone to turn to
When the world looks terrifying
A teddy bear or a feral lion

Higher ground
Feel me all around
When all around is dark and daring
Higher ground
When the world you've found
Comes tumbling down
I'll be there waiting
Pilo-erection...

Life is reassembling and I can feel you trembling
It's a natural thing, don't be scared of anything
I know life has hurt you, been unkind and untrue
But over time I've learned
You take the bad times and the drama
And wear them like a badge of honour

Higher ground
Feel me all around
When all around is dark and daring
Higher ground
When the world you've found
Comes tumbling down
I'll be there waiting
Pilo-erection...
