No Reptiles
(专辑: Get To Heaven - 2015)
Slip from the
trees to the
dirt to the
menace To the
wild to the
car, under snow, cut to ribbons Like a
coral to your shin, like a
manacle to swing Fresh from the
breast, now a
river running fat To the

gun Just give me this one night Just one night to feel like I

might be on the
right path (Home) Old enough to fire a
gun Just give me this one night Just one night to feel like I
might be on the
right path The
path that takes me home Wise enough to know myself Just give me this one night Just one night to feel
