Meatplow
Stone Temple Pilots · Purple [1994]
Fine place for a day full of breakdowns
Takes more than a meltdown to show us how
Throw a tak on the road stop the meatplow
Got a bullet but it aint mine
They got these pictures of everything
To break us down, yea to break me down
They make us hate and we make it bleed
But I got a lover and yeah
She shows me how,
To understand it, yea to understand
I got a brother and well
He shows me how,
To make amends, yeah to make amends
with it
Take a break from the mousetrap we call home
Takes more than a message to make me smile
I can feel when she kisses me sleeping
But not when the news is on
Takes more than a meltdown to show us how
Throw a tak on the road stop the meatplow
Got a bullet but it aint mine
They got these pictures of everything
To break us down, yea to break me down
They make us hate and we make it bleed
But I got a lover and yeah
She shows me how,
To understand it, yea to understand
I got a brother and well
He shows me how,
To make amends, yeah to make amends
with it
Take a break from the mousetrap we call home
Takes more than a message to make me smile
I can feel when she kisses me sleeping
But not when the news is on
