Lyrics

Shepard Tone

No way, just a feeling that's felt on

Like a stinking bog

Deep down in the thick of the wicked

There's a little blood

Folks quit when there's nothing to quit on

A sucker punch

I'm a rip in a fantasy

So are you

Deep throat at the tip of the unknown

It comes up again

Trying to stand when there's nothing to stand on

Make a little room

Kickback from a wiffle bat

Surface like a dew

One gift if it gets to that

Got one for you

Fingers everyone

Fingers everyone

Fingers everyone

Fingers everyone

Fingers everyone

Fingers everyone

Fingers everyone

Fingers everyone
