"Playing Possum For A Peek" lyrics
"Playing Possum For A Peek"
I'm made up of instincts
None of which are too keen
But I get by with these high cheekbones
Little faith in people or a higher being
And I'm a man with desires
And If I told you any different I'd be a liar
As hard as I've tried
I've found I can't deny myself of those
Things that I want
As last night turns into this morning -
Buried in your blankets, left for dead
My heart beating in my head -
I lie still, pretending I'm asleep
And I watch you put your clothes on for me
The local pharmacist and his wife
And I'm convinced after your performance
That this world is too big for us
And our stupid instincts, and our stupid desires

And I'm sneaking glances
Looking for the patterns in static
They start to make sense the longer I'm at it
Ivory lines lead
Oo wha-ho, oo wha-ho...
Cap'n Jazz - "Ooh Do I Love You" Mud; Muddy slush; Slushy lawn
In the inbetween of the winter and spring and the lawn's long gone
People walking
Lotsa people walking over the life in the mud
On the sidewalk under my crawl
Mud...
Foxing - "Eiffel" And your holy ruin
Heavened and hallowed in breast and bough
Would be pressed on ladder rungs
I’ll be caught less spineless if I surrender
So I’m caught in the golden gone
Castrated
Bold of...
