You Am I - Shuck lyrics

The superpower I wanted I
Could best visualise
With my French verbs lost to this enterprise
To freeze motion and thought in
All others while I
Romance the teacher, madame, parle-moi
I could keep us in cheese and
Wine 'til the day we decide, yeah

Forty years living in the back of my throat
Affection to the letter, and never I wrote
Still trust in my super freakin' skills
And I'm yours, from the terrors
To the morning when the focus pries
Well I suggest I can't caress
With just a soft eye stare
A moxie tickle in my joints annoy my infancy
Shuck the past, my poise
The background noise

And I am such a child now with
Such a liquid mind, my credo
Shows me ways to go
Shuck the ceiling from the walls

To avoid complications with next of kin
Keep the platitudes aplenty
The bloodletting thin
And I'm still daydreamin'
My super freakin' skills
When you forgive me for the terrors
To the morning when the memory pries

Well I suggest I can't caress
With just a soft eye stare
A moxie tickle in my joints annoy my infancy
Shuck the past, my poise
The background noise

And I am such a child now with
Such a liquid mind, my credo
Shows me ways to go
Shuck the ceilings from the walls, yeah

And I am such a child now with
Such a liquid mind, my credo
Shows me ways to go
Shuck the ceilings from the walls, yeah

Dress-up box, or glitter on a cause
Eyebrows raised, and leave a pretty corpse
Yeah

We'll flap like a Chinese
Fish through the details
And I'll tell you I love ya
'Til one of us is saved
And one of us pries the whole roof away

Annoy my infancy shuck the past, my poise
The background noise

And I am such a child now with
Such a liquid mind, my credo
Shows me ways to go
Shuck the ceilings from the walls, yeah

Yeah, I am such a child now with
Such a liquid mind, my credo
Shows me ways to go
Shuck the ceilings from the walls, yeah
Shake it all around shake 'em all around
(You won't believe it)
