lyrics

Another twilight tries to find that
exact cactus planter match,
gets distracted with the hanging basket's
pallette and loses track.

Heard your mom say to the neighbours
that it's just a passing phase,
but some animals stay in an open cage.

Tried to leave like this was no big deal
with you picking the best cassette.
Well-adjusted like the bungee
that clung to something in the carport
and the roofbox and stretched and...

With your art school applications
preferentially arranged,
but some animals stay in an open cage.

And once the album's done,
look up at buzzards and gulls.
"These must be different ones, huh?"
The tape ends and then
we put on the same one again.

You went heavy on the ketchup,
unstoppable with the salt,
left a person's worth untouched
and when they came to clear up
said I'd be buried in my headphones,
still whispering the words
to this new thing I've been working on
as they're shoveling on the earth.

Couldn't gauge the way you mumbled
"there's a bunch of f••••d up ways
that some animals stay in an open cage".

But some animals stay, but some animals stay,
but some understudies aim to stay that way.
