Laura Stevenson - Ticker Tape lyrics
[Laura Stevenson - Ticker Tape lyrics]
It's known alight and overgrown
But sturdy in it's haunches
Lines bowing forward from the shoulder
Worn and molded-over
Check throats are there to keep the moat
From trembling through sills
And your trench foot
Looks like it's bound to put you
In the ground before your time
I'm high and gone
Young drunks are swimming in their work
They think it'll be worth more
Lay prone and pedaling your word
It's next to nothing and you know
Your god is a sentimental one
If ever I had known one
And I'll be always up in arms
On that you can rely on i'm high and gone
Make ticker tape from my minor vita
Come on and watch it fly
Watch it 'til it's high and gone
I'm high and gone turn world it's over now
Unfurl your fingers my engine's slowing down
Unhitched from fixes last year
The past year's undone
But sturdy in it's haunches
Lines bowing forward from the shoulder
Worn and molded-over
Check throats are there to keep the moat
From trembling through sills
And your trench foot
Looks like it's bound to put you
In the ground before your time
I'm high and gone
Young drunks are swimming in their work
They think it'll be worth more
Lay prone and pedaling your word
It's next to nothing and you know
Your god is a sentimental one
If ever I had known one
And I'll be always up in arms
On that you can rely on i'm high and gone
Make ticker tape from my minor vita
Come on and watch it fly
Watch it 'til it's high and gone
I'm high and gone turn world it's over now
Unfurl your fingers my engine's slowing down
Unhitched from fixes last year
The past year's undone
