Frightened Rabbit - Poke lyrics
[Frightened Rabbit - Poke lyrics]
Poke at my iris why can't I cry about this?
Maybe there is something that you
Know that I don't
We adopt brand new language
Communicate through pursed lips
And you try not to put on
Any sexy clothes or graces
I might never catch a mouse
And present it in my mouth
To make you feel you're with someone
Who deserves to be with you
But there's one thing we've got going
And it's the only thing worth knowing
It's got lots to do with magnets
And the pull of the moon
Why won't our love keel over as
It chokes on a bone?
And we can mourn it's passing
And then bury it in snow
Or should we kick it's cunt in
And watch as it dies from bleeding?
If you don't want to be with me
Just say and I will go
Ooh ooh
We can change our partners
This is a progressive dance but
Remember it was me who dragged you
Up to the sweaty floor
Well, this has been a reel
I've got shin-splints and a stitch from we
But like a drunken night it's the
Best bit's that are coloured in
You should look through some old photos
I adored you in every one of those
If someone took a picture of us
Now they'd need to be told
That we had ever clung and tied
A navy knot with arms at night
I'd say she was his sister but
She doesn't have his nose
And now we're unrelated and rid of
All the shit we hated
But, I hate when I feel like this
And I never hated you
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Maybe there is something that you
Know that I don't
We adopt brand new language
Communicate through pursed lips
And you try not to put on
Any sexy clothes or graces
I might never catch a mouse
And present it in my mouth
To make you feel you're with someone
Who deserves to be with you
But there's one thing we've got going
And it's the only thing worth knowing
It's got lots to do with magnets
And the pull of the moon
Why won't our love keel over as
It chokes on a bone?
And we can mourn it's passing
And then bury it in snow
Or should we kick it's cunt in
And watch as it dies from bleeding?
If you don't want to be with me
Just say and I will go
Ooh ooh
We can change our partners
This is a progressive dance but
Remember it was me who dragged you
Up to the sweaty floor
Well, this has been a reel
I've got shin-splints and a stitch from we
But like a drunken night it's the
Best bit's that are coloured in
You should look through some old photos
I adored you in every one of those
If someone took a picture of us
Now they'd need to be told
That we had ever clung and tied
A navy knot with arms at night
I'd say she was his sister but
She doesn't have his nose
And now we're unrelated and rid of
All the shit we hated
But, I hate when I feel like this
And I never hated you
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
