King Gizzard, The Lizard Wizard - Ambergris lyrics

Breathing heavy candles
Cut a face from the smile
Preserve the torch; it's imperative
So douse some fuel on the fire
Some dogs get whale eye
Got a nose for that sea spice
I wish that I had strength like that
Dominion over my chemistry

Didn't you know?
The camel's out of water
The dog sweat on the seat
Had me slippin' like a creep
Haven't you heard?
They worked out double standards
Apply only to me
Finally, it's working
Ambergris
Ambergris

Sculpting confidence with chimney smoke
Record my weight in kidney stones
CFC's gnaw at my intellect
Colour coding my lymph nodes
Anthropomorphise everything
Use my blowhole like a microphone
Every night I dream that you will see
The harpoon that I've grown to need

Apropos
The camel's out of water
The dog sweat on the seat
Had me slippin' like a creep
Ergo
They worked out double standards
Apply only to me
Finally, it's working
Ambergris

Didn't you know?
The camel's out of water
The dog sweat on the seat
Had me slippin' like a creep
Haven't you heard?
They worked out double standards
Apply only to me
Finally, it's working
Ambergris
