The King Blues - Headbutt lyrics
[The King Blues - Headbutt lyrics]
She had a scream that rattled
The seeds inside the apples
When she uncaged her cackle
Jackals travelled just to battle
She gives the girls screwface
And the men crooked neck
When she walked by my place
I heard a string quartet
Asthmatics lose their breath
The traffic all gets wrecked
The Smokers laps collect
All Their dropped cigarettes
Kids fall onto the decks
Cos they dont watch their steps
And when theyre on the floor
They draw her on their etch a sketch
She says that life is like a jungle
And not like a zoo
Participate, dont spectate become the view
Man if Scarface said it
Its just got to be true
So this world, this world right here
This world is for you
I said to all my mates
She wont make a monkey out of me
But when she kissed me it
Felt like a headbutt it felt like a headbutt
Staring up at the ceiling
Nurses face disbelieving scalpel on arteries
Organs taken larcenies
Holds it up like a trophy
But that heart belongs to Sophie
Slices pieces of me
Each one beats individually
So now I bite the bullet
Ill try to chew right through it
Grinds my teeth to the gums
I gots to see what Ive become
There is danger ahead
With a mouthful of lead but when I fly
It gets harder to deny
So I stood on the shore trying
To blow the clouds away
Right back into the sky made
Out of papier mache
The Sparkles from the moon
Danced on top of the waves
Like they knew it was the last
Song ever to be played
I said to all my mates
She wont make a monkey out of me
But when she kissed me it
Felt like a headbutt it felt like a headbutt
She was up high on the stage just dancing it
Breathing fire like God himself
Had demanded it
Like hed personally asked and commanded it
Heavens packed but thanks to her
Theyre still cramming it
She made the sinners blessed by
The way that she dressed
Stripteasing, fire breathing
Dancing burlesque
Producing beads of cold sweats
On mens foreheads she says welcome to the
City of the suffragettes
And if you step out with
Me youd better step correct
I said to all my mates
She wont make a monkey out of me
But when she kissed me it
Felt like a headbutt it felt like a headbutt
The seeds inside the apples
When she uncaged her cackle
Jackals travelled just to battle
She gives the girls screwface
And the men crooked neck
When she walked by my place
I heard a string quartet
Asthmatics lose their breath
The traffic all gets wrecked
The Smokers laps collect
All Their dropped cigarettes
Kids fall onto the decks
Cos they dont watch their steps
And when theyre on the floor
They draw her on their etch a sketch
She says that life is like a jungle
And not like a zoo
Participate, dont spectate become the view
Man if Scarface said it
Its just got to be true
So this world, this world right here
This world is for you
I said to all my mates
She wont make a monkey out of me
But when she kissed me it
Felt like a headbutt it felt like a headbutt
Staring up at the ceiling
Nurses face disbelieving scalpel on arteries
Organs taken larcenies
Holds it up like a trophy
But that heart belongs to Sophie
Slices pieces of me
