Dingo

(album: Permanent Hermit - 2019)

Driving through an empty plane
The desert took me far away
The biggest nuisance morning heat
Me tents barely bigger than me

Hear the dirt and hear the howls
Pretend that I'm not hurting now
I'm by myself and this is fine
But my voice starts not to feel like mine

The quiet knocks, I say "Come in
It's just a tent, undo the zip
I drove a while I might go to bed
But you can stay here if you're scared"

And I would swap these hands for paws
Dirty fingernails for claws
Don't care about the dirt or fleas
Leave behind all human parts of me

Sunrise so beautiful I cried
And emotions are not things that I like
Remember it's a diesel tank
Otherwise you're out of bank

Try to surf when you find the coast
Can barely swim sink under and choke
Stay under there don't try to breathe
My biggest fear is redundancy

Pink skies and early nights
Wish I could see the northern lights
Mate can't you just be satisfied
Can't look my review in the eye

And I would swap these hands for paws
Dirty fingernails for claws
Don't care about the dirt or fleas
Leave behind all human parts of me

Drive past signs be scared of home
I love this heat and red dust place
Haunted by fucking dingos
They're calling me I want to stay

And I would swap these hands for paws
Dirty fingernails for claws
Don't care about the dirt or fleas
Leave behind all human parts of me
