"Picking Dragons' Pockets" lyrics

"Picking Dragons' Pockets"

I ain't your passenger now
I ain't your passenger now, nor your equipment
An auditory trick
They're a boot that begs to be licked
I am the tarmac, I'm the pilot, I'm the flight path
Can't get past that

Well they'll go crazy if you don't go crazy somehow
And I'm not crazy 'bout what they're so crazy 'bout now

We've been eatin' our own
We've been eatin' our young
We've been eatin' our own young
Idle hands around the devil's throat
A suicide note that another's hand wrote
And we're used to this

And they'll go crazy if you don't go crazy somehow
And I'm not crazy 'bout what they're so crazy 'bout now

Pickin' dragons' pockets, and away we go
Breathe in poison, then you breathe out smoke
It's clear I'm lookin' for an antidote
Well you pay for garbage, and you've cast your vote
I found out that's how low I'd go
Came up from the bottom looking like a ghost
I tried to go to Auckland but just did not go
Turns out when it rains, it snows

Are we leaves in the wind?
Fresh clothes on dirty skin
The means to meet no ends again

Pickin' dragons pockets and away we go
My eyes are their eyes watch the show
Facts aren't facts on screens that glow
But we're a pretty tricky little animal

Well I'm not crazy 'bout what they're so crazy 'bout now
And they'll go crazy if you don't go crazy somehow

They looked outside with a microscope
Voice to skull try to crush your soul
But we're a pretty tricky little animal
Killers get killed, that's just the way it goes
Well, something that I know for sure is love makes love is hate makes more
We're a pretty tricky little animal
Well, we're pretty tricky little animals
Well, something that I know for sure is love makes love but hate makes more
For sure, a pretty tricky little animal
We're a pretty tricky little animal

I ain't your passenger now
I ain't your passenger now
I'm just equipment
We've been eatin' our own
We've been eatin' our young
We've been eatin' our own young
