Nashville Parent

[Verse 1] But it look so cold there from the bottom Another part of another ritual Standing in the kitchen, arms are braced against the counter Swallowing like mercury down the drain [Chorus 1] And the neighbors have been drinking And they are raising quite a stink Pretty soon, they will be fighting It can get pretty ugly [Verse 2] The city makes a hooting sound tonight The owl on the roof has got it right And if it's left to him, he'll take that stupid grin And decapitate a rodent or a mouse [Chorus 2] Take the B train or the shuttle At the exit, have a smoke Try to spit onto the sidewalk Instead, you wipe it off your chest [Post-Chorus] I don't wanna freak But the tongue erodes each time we speak On a timely mission Oh, you look pretty swell in your new position [Verse 3] Fiberglass, funny face upon the wall It's funny when it's not funny at all And if it's up to him, you can take the ways of sin And smash it like glass against the wall [Chorus 3] Oh, but it's nothing too pathetic Full of rhetoric and doubt Carry on like little creatures In the fields of the heart [Post-Chorus] I don't wanna freak But the tongue erodes each time we speak On a timely mission Oh, you look pretty swell in your new position
