Tiger Tank - Speedy Ortiz

Was it my teeth or my tongue that said, «Glue shut your lips, let us take a

rest»?

Oh, my mouth is a factory for every toxic part of speech I spew

Late, languorous, and afraid to ask

Caught my reflection in some seawashed glass

Oh, my face is unable to convey how very awfully I’m doing

Laugh out of habit at the lump schematics

I smoked my senses, it made me so demented

I see me and you with the kennel cough

Signaling the sleuth of the trail we trot

Expansion rattles out this old lump

Bats get bristled, the imps heat up

Spoon out the sweet stuff for street-wise smut

Oh, my gut absorbs the fiercest blows, you never thought you’d have to throw

Laugh out of habit at the lump schematics

My psychic tenses make me so defensive

I see me and you in the tiger tank

Swimmin' as they yowl, soon they’re tearing us

Limb from every limb to the kennel cough

Limb from every limb to the--

Don’t even care if they take my legs

I’ve limped before, I could limp again

Though my limp is not able to display how very awfully I’m doing
