Hanging About

Imperial Teen · Feel The Sound [2012]

Hanging about and you'll stay no doubt

With your tongue hung out

With your sung not shout

In the folds of the sheet, in the flat of the pleat

The milk of the teat or the pants of the seat if you will



Shocked and enthused by your yesterday's news

And your role as a muse

In a robe that you dis'd on a whim

Of a sketch of your hair in a bun

Your stature undone and unbuckled of knuckles and limbs



Moved and abused by the craft of a stitch

A son of a b*tch or a bastard that's bred just to kill

It aghast in the sail of a mast

That's forcing a fast

On the strike of a hunger to fill



Stretching to last with your arm on a cast

A half-finished task and a bucket that's filled to the brim

Of a cup that's been drained its remains

The half that's poured out is the song that we shout, let's begin,



The sun is melting the butter

It melts into the ground

The paper sticking together

It doesn't make a sound

[x2]



Hanging about and you'll stay no doubt

With your tongue hung out

With your sung not shout

In the folds of the sheet, in the flat of the pleat

The milk of the teat or the pants of the seat if you will
