Regina Spektor - Chicken Song lyrics
[Regina Spektor - Chicken Song lyrics]
Stop jerkin' off, and eat your chicken, baby
It's like a colony of hungry ants down here
So I keep dancing with this
Dead weight round my ankles
And it thickens every time I turn away
There's something spartan in the way
We choose our battles
There's something spartan in the way
We cast our stones
It takes a bit more than a
Kiss for the princess to awaken
And a bit less than a fuck
For her to stay awake
So don't go away be my view for today
I just wanna see something lovely as
I look outside my window, it's
It's like a system here
Another day, another year
Another joke, another beer
And I'm sleeping through
Stop jerkin' off, and eat your chicken, baby
It's a free country
We can be elitist if we want
They say if we phrase it right
They'll eat it off our fingers
And if we don't, well, then they won't
The astrologers look at a sky
And point their fingers
And the philosphers look down at
Us and point their toes
Is it the way we close our eyes?
Is it our hair? Is it the breathmints?
You know we speculate
But in the end do we really know?
So don't go away be my view for today
I just wanna see something lovely as
I look outside my window, it's
It's like a system here
Another day, another year
Another joke, another beer
And I'm sleeping through
Stop, stop, stop, stop
Stop jerkin' off, and eat your chicken baby
It's like a colony of hungry ants down here
So I keep dancing with this
Dead weight round my ankles
And it thickens every time I turn away
There's something spartan in the way
We choose our battles
There's something spartan in the way
We cast our stones
It takes a bit more than a
Kiss for the princess to awaken
And a bit less than a fuck
For her to stay awake
So don't go away be my view for today
I just wanna see something lovely as
I look outside my window, it's
It's like a system here
Another day, another year
Another joke, another beer
And I'm sleeping through
Don't go away be my view for today
I just wanna see something lovely, man
I just wanna see something lovely
It's like a system here
Another day, another year
Another day, another year
Another day, another year
Another year, another year another day
And I'm sleeping i'm sleeping
I'm slipping through my fingers
It's like a colony of hungry ants down here
So I keep dancing with this
Dead weight round my ankles
And it thickens every time I turn away
There's something spartan in the way
We choose our battles
There's something spartan in the way
We cast our stones
It takes a bit more than a
Kiss for the princess to awaken
And a bit less than a fuck
For her to stay awake
So don't go away be my view for today
I just wanna see something lovely as
I look outside my window, it's
It's like a system here
Another day, another year
Another joke, another beer
And I'm sleeping through
Stop jerkin' off, and eat your chicken, baby
