Lyrics

Petting the Carpet

Special demons
From under hair
They've come to say
You're not so great

Petting the carpet
Saliva
Flows strong
Birds scream
At people
And hard tears
Land soft

Special demons
From under hair
They've come to say
You're not so great
You're not so great
You're not so great
You're not so great

Petting the carpet
Saliva
Flows strong
Birds scream
At people
And hard tears
Land soft

Special demons
From under hair
They've come to say
You're not so great
You're not so great
You're not so great
You're not so great
