Pigeons and Spies

(album: Skeleton Coast - 2020)

You are the pigeon, I am the spy
All we have in common is that we're both high
Watching the bald spots and bonnets walk by
Down below

You are the dinosaur, I am the ground
That shook to knock all you mo'fuckers out
All we have in common is one brutal sound
Watching Pteranodons falling all around

Oh I'm tired, and you're tired, too
I wanna make big changes but I'm not in the mood
I'm dying, and you're dying, too
All we've got in common is I'm out here killing for two

You are the bombers, I am the moms
Not sure where the next tragedy falls
All we have in common is that when they die
We both feel it inside

You are the locker room, I am the queer
Keenly aware you don't like that I'm here
All we have in common is that we hate me
All we have in common is that we'll both be

Angry and old and some day we'll die
Someday we'll start drinking at 8:45
Take me to the bathroom when I start to cry
Cover my mouth and then cover my eyes

Cover my soul, it's already died
Cover my soul, girl, it's already died
Cause I never had nothing inside
I never had nothing inside

But I'm so tired, and you're tired, too
I wanna make big changes but I'm not in the mood
I'm dying, and you're dying, too
All we've got in common is we're out here killing for two
We're killing for two

In this case, I am the me and you are the you
All we have in common is we're out here sweating out booze
