Nashville Parent

But it look so cold there from the bottom
 Another part of another ritual
 Standing in the kitchen, arms are braced against the counter
 Swallowing like mercury down the drain
 And the neighbors have been drinking
 And they are raising quite a stink
 Pretty soon, they will be fighting
 It can get pretty ugly
 The city makes a hooting sound tonight
 The owl on the roof has got it right
 And if it's left to him, he can take that stupid grin
 And decapitate a rodent or a mouse
 Take the B train or the shuttle
 At the exit, have a smoke
 Try to spit onto the sidewalk
 Instead, you wipe it off your chest
 I don't wanna freak
 But the tongue erodes each time we speak
 On a timely mission
 Oh, you look pretty swell in your new position
 ♪
 Fiberglass, funny face upon the wall
 It's funny when it's not funny at all
 And if it's up to him, you can take the ways of sin
 And smash it like a glass against the wall
 Oh, but it's nothing too pathetic
 Full of rhetoric and doubt
 Carry on like little creatures
 In the fields of the heart
 I don't wanna freak
 But the tongue erodes each time we speak
 On a timely mission
 Oh, you look pretty swell in your new position
