Peel It The Fuck Down

(álbum: Etc. - 2002)

Met my mother in a dream
She was just a stranger on the street
We averted eyes
Time will vindicate us all someday
Some, anyway

Why is my face so wide?
Cheek to cheek is almost chin to eye
I'm in a bucket seat
Anger is a car door I can't reach
I can't reach

Don't close the door on me
I need the light to sleep
Your shadow on the ceiling
Toothpaste on my teeth
There's books but I can't read
Lay back and count the strange men
Mix toys from different sets
Lick felt tips, get them wet
The AFX is broken
God damn that closet door
Every night it's war
Who will get there first?

This is a waking dream
Sometimes I greet my nightmares with relief
So I walk with that first step
One leg holds its own or else it dies
Still, it tries

Don't close the door on me
I need the light to sleep
Your shadow on the ceiling
Toothpaste on my teeth
There's books but I can't read
Lay back and count the strange men
Mix toys from different sets
Lick felt tips, get them wet
The AFX is broken
God damn that closet door
Every night it's war
Who will get there first?

Don't close the door on me
I need the light to sleep
Your shadow on the ceiling
Toothpaste on my teeth
There's books but I can't read
Lay back and count the strange men
Mix toys from different sets
Lick felt tips, get them wet
The AFX is broken
God damn that closet door
Every night it's war
Who will get there first?
