Man Man - Trunk Eyes lyrics

The way that she cuts through a room
Makes me want to exhume the madness

That flit's between our lips like dynamite
And a moistened wick so

You feel like a firefly whose lamp's unlit
And smothered by
The bed, the sweat, the dawns of the past
The taste of the small of
An old lover's laugh so
You bust your bank try to build a better
Bang for your buck, DNA to out distance
The tethers that you're tied to
The family lines that will hang
You out to dry and you wonder why

Our hearts are such hungry beasts
The harder we starve them
The more all-consuming
And I understand they'll never find
The love that they need
So we try to run 'em into the ground

As I watch her unpack her hair
Like stacks of black pyramids
So I smile like a crack in a dam or
A condemned chair to electric man so

(she wants stability)
What's that I can't hear you?
(she wants stability)
So I'll go and buy her a pony
(she wants stability)
I'll lay my head on a goddamn platter
(she wants stability)

But in the end
It doesn't really matter 'cause
Our hearts are such hungry beasts
The harder we starve them
The more all-consuming
And I understand they'll never find
The love that they need
So we try to run 'em into the

Our heads are bottled up by
The most heathen thoughts
Our bodies hang in limbo of what
We need and what we want

She's a cutter but I love her just the same
Undercover but I never learned her real name

She's a gutter but I love her just the same
Undercover but I never learned her real name

(I'm an old man, I'm only getting older
The world gets younger as I push boulders)
