Paper Bird - Downstream lyrics

You hugged me with hands curled up in fists
And the weapon in your front pocket
Squeezing my tit's
And we kissed with teeth touching
That's how it was
And every breath exchanged another loss

I bought a book about life in the sea
And I read it out aloud and I
Picked out the importance for me
Which was everything poisonous
And everything dangerous
Everything with tentacles and claws

And who do you think you are
Thinking about telling me what to think?
And who do you think you are
Pouring your opinions in my drink?
I ride the bike down to the river side
I spit in the water and watch you
Float slowly downstream

After the A, B, C and the 1, 2, 3
Your words still sound so old
While my finger's in my throat
Trying to tickle out the cold
I've got a mark on my hips
Where ten filthy fingertips
Tried to pave the way for
A filthy pair of lips

And I bought a book about life in the woods
And I read it out aloud and
I underlined the passages that would
Tell me how to survive among
Predators as a snake
And how to never go to sleep
How to always stay awake

And who do you think you are
Thinking about telling me what to think?
And who do you think you are
Pouring your opinions in my drink?
I ride the bike down to the river side
I spit in the water and watch you
Float slowly downstream

Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, downstream
