Shuck

The superpower I wanted I could best visualise

With my French verbs lost to this enterprise

To freeze motion and thought in all others while I

Romance the teacher, madame, parle-moi

I could keep us in cheese and wine 'til the day we decide, yeah

Forty years living in the back of my throat

Affection to the letter, and never I wrote

Still trust in my super freakin' skills

And I'm yours, from the terrors, to the morning

When the focus pries

Well I suggest I can't caress

With just a soft eye stare

A moxie tickle in my joints

Annoy my infancy

Shuck the past, my poise

The background noise

And I am such a child now with

Such a liquid mind, my credo

Shows me ways to go

Shuck the ceiling from the walls

To avoid complications with next of kin

Keep the platitudes aplenty, the bloodletting thin

And I'm still daydreamin', my super freakin' skills

When you forgive me for the terrors, to the morning

When the memory pries

Well I suggest I can't caress

With just a soft eye stare

A moxie tickle in my joints

Annoy my infancy

Shuck the past, my poise

The background noise

And I am such a child now with

Such a liquid mind, my credo

Shows me ways to go

Shuck the ceilings from the walls, yeah

And I am such a child now with

Such a liquid mind, my credo

Shows me ways to go

Shuck the ceilings from the walls, yeah

Dress-up box, or glitter on a cause

Eyebrows raised, and leave a pretty corpse, yeah

We'll flap like a Chinese fish through the details

And I'll tell you I love ya

'Til one of us is saved

And one of us pries the whole roof away

Annoy my infancy

Shuck the past, my poise

The background noise

And I am such a child now with

Such a liquid mind, my credo

Shows me ways to go

Shuck the ceilings from the walls, yeah

Yeah, I am such a child now with

Such a liquid mind, my credo

Shows me ways to go

Shuck the ceilings from the walls, yeah

Shake it all around

Shake 'em all around...

(You won't believe it...)
