Spiritual Insect

from So Whaddaya Think? by Mark Lint and the Fake

/

lyrics

Seems like a good day to be inspired
What with all the stuff that's been going on
I just got some music - was going to put it on
But I thought I should probably write my own

Tryin' stoppin' being dull
Get the stucco out of my skull
When I thaw out, she'll be gone
Bleedin' wheels come take me on

It's not like I've been sittin' here doin' nothin'
Got a spiritual insect preying on my knees
And the stuff that I've been pushin' sends ya nowhere you can't go
Slash your chest, let out the friggin' bees

Don't think I know how to be inspired
Not in music - Not in love
However I try to focus I am forever outside my focus
I can't seem to find too much to say these days

Tryin' stoppin' being dull...
...Slash your chest, let out the friggin' bees and fleas and lots of other things

And I will paste a cloth along side of my pillow
To wipe the sweat that comes with my disease
And I will pull the sheets up, nail them tight, and I will cough my teeth up
Thought I might need every weapon I could get to vent my passion
I have yet to vent my passion
I have yet to vent it
I will throw up what I can
