Lyrics

Scabby Head and Legs

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Pigeon on a ledge

Scabby head and legs

Tightening the grip will break thе eggs

Never-еnding new

Measuring the roots

Getting out the tools to start anew

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

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
