Spoons
21, walking all tough.
Raw sewage, pollution Corolla and stuff.
I've got a new shirt, shiny, I'm pushing it out.
I've got a knife, sharp, grimy and a nihilist thought.
You and I walked down Butchers
Took a right and lost our footing
Fell inside the underbelly
Slid right down inside.
Like spoons, we stack, back to front, front to back
Like spoons, we stack, back to front, front to back
On TV hill, we did what we're meant to
Shocked all the locals with mantu.
Poster teeth are smiling up at you.
Cash in their hand and a political vacuum.
You and I fit so perfect.
Pay the fee and the cinema's worth it.
Miss the plot and catch the advertisement.
Like spoons, we stack, back to front, front to back
Like spoons, we stack, back to front, front to back
Seven pills, I didn't know what you were waiting for, oh no.
I took a three and then I made it four. I had to turn away.
When you put a knife against a fork, I guess it ought to say
There's a chance that you won't walk away. You leave yourself behind.
Like spoons, we stack, back to front, front to back
Like spoons, we stack, back to front, front to back
Blue ghosts, walking stilettos. Ninja girls, taking the bus routes.
Men with looks, western-style haircut. They got blown away
You and I thought the same thing. Gave a heart and put a foot in
We held hands and pray for our own seven, seventy-two
Like spoons, we stack, back to front, front to back
Like spoons, we stack, back to front, front to back
Like spoons, we stack, back to front, front to back
Like spoons, we stack, back to front, front to back
