"Scabby Head And Legs" lyrics

"Scabby Head And Legs"

Thin end of the wedge
Scabby head
Crawled under the bench
Scabby legs
Pigeon on a ledge
In the end
Pigeon on a nest
Double eggs

Breaking when you say
Who's to blame
Breaking when you say
They're to blame
How can we exist?
How can we
Know how to do this?
Torn to shreds
Pigeon on a ledge

Pigeon on a ledge
Scabby head and legs
Tightening the grip will break the eggs
Never ending new
Measuring the roots
Getting out the tools to start a new
Climbing up the tree
Grabbing at the nest
Tightening the grip will break the eggs
Pigeon on a ledge
Scabby head and legs

Never ending new
Getting out the tools
For measuring the roots

Measuring the roots
Of the tree
Deep into the ground
Going deep
Choosing what to keep
Treasure chest
Painful letting go of the rest

Dice that were unrolled
Came undone
Unravelling the whole
Came undone
Breaking of a limb
When you fell
Breaking of a branch
So you fell

Breaking when you say
Who's to blame
Breaking when you say
They're to blame
How can we exist?
How can we
Know how to do this?
Torn to shreds
Scabby head and legs
