David Keenan - Prized Game lyrics
[David Keenan - Prized Game lyrics]
Wounded animal, prized game
Sunburned hide still seeking, peeking
When will you be back
To take the naked photographs of me?
Wounded animal prized game
Last saw you lying on the Lino floor
Dissecting the Moon cycles
Reading parables from a child soldier's Bible
All we have is the now until it’s spent
Then we live amongst the memories
We choose to invent
Like you counting your loose change
Do you have any loose change
For my electric meter?
Wounded animal, prized game, c’mere
Can I even call you that
In this day and age? Read my body language
I see now said the blind
Man removing the bandage
Wounded animal, prized game
You are lit from within
And it's an inside job
I've destroyed the morning pages
So get dressed and release the
Sad birds from their cages
I implore, I employ every part of myself
Into the question mark you call a mouth
I implore, I employ every part of myself
Into the question mark you call a mouth
Why do you not write much these days?
I'm gonna wait until my wisdom teeth fall out
You're a liar
And fuck you! You're a liar too
Things were easier
When you thought I was someone else
Wounded animal, prized game
Sunburned hide still seeking, peeking
When will you be back
To take the naked photographs of me?
Sunburned hide still seeking, peeking
When will you be back
To take the naked photographs of me?
Wounded animal prized game
Last saw you lying on the Lino floor
Dissecting the Moon cycles
Reading parables from a child soldier's Bible
All we have is the now until it’s spent
Then we live amongst the memories
We choose to invent
Like you counting your loose change
Do you have any loose change
For my electric meter?
Wounded animal, prized game, c’mere
Can I even call you that
In this day and age? Read my body language
I see now said the blind
Man removing the bandage
Wounded animal, prized game
You are lit from within
And it's an inside job
I've destroyed the morning pages
So get dressed and release the
Sad birds from their cages
I implore, I employ every part of myself
Into the question mark you call a mouth
I implore, I employ every part of myself
Into the question mark you call a mouth
Why do you not write much these days?
I'm gonna wait until my wisdom teeth fall out
You're a liar
And fuck you! You're a liar too
Things were easier
When you thought I was someone else
Wounded animal, prized game
Sunburned hide still seeking, peeking
When will you be back
To take the naked photographs of me?
