Lyrics for Song: Not Even Jail
Lyrics for Album: Antics [2004]
I'll lay down my glasses,
I'll lay down in houses,
If things come alive.
I'll subtract pain by ounces,
Yeah, I will start painting houses,
If things come alive
I promise to commit no acts of violence,
Be it physical or otherwise,
If things come alive
I'll say it now
Cos I want it now
When personality is scar tissue,
It travels south with disuse
I'm subtle like a lion's cage
Such a cautious display
Remember take hold of, your time here
Give some meanings to the means
To your end.
Not even jail.
We marshal in the days of longing,
We tremble like anyone's children,
And wink towards the fire.
I am erring on the side of caution,
Betraying no other symptom,
And girl, you shake it right.
I will bounce you on the lap of silence,
We will freeload to the beats of science,
And girl, you shake it right
I'll say it now
Oh, but hold it still, darling, your hair is so pretty
Can't you feel the warmth of my sincerity?
You make motion when you cry
You're making people's lives feel less private.
Don't take time away
You make motion when you cry
Can we all hold hands
Can we all hold hands,
When we make new plans.
I pretend like no one else to try to control myself.
I'm subtle like a lion's cage.
Such a cautious display.
Remember take hold of, your time here,
Give some meanings to the means
To your end
Not even jail
