Lyrics

Drunk Mouth Kitchen Smile

[Verse 1]

Concerning confrontations

This is a shy and quiet morning

The sleeping dogs awoke last night

The thunder scares them stiff eyed

[Chorus]

Exercise (Your exorcisms)

Anchor down (Raise the sail)

Autumn night (Stay soft and cool)

Come morning light (I'll be gone)

[Verse 2]

Spectators are tired of watching

They're filing out the big top doors

I'm buried in the smell of circus

Those dark clouds are rolling in

[Chorus]

Drunken mouth (Kitchen smile)

Please summon me softly to sleep

(We never talk, we only speak)

[Bridge]

Today, I've seen a dragon

On the ripped up, worn out armrest

Stay back, this skin is laced with sticks of dynamite

I'll be burning out like a shooting star

[Outro]

A thousand pretty lights

Assail these sinking feelings

I should be on trial

For everything I haven't done

I should be on trial

For everything I haven't done
