Gavin Castleton - Stampete lyrics

Like a hormone hurricane we became a force, With the carnal carnage of our braided legs And our twisting hips, Coursing through its course We staggered in at the staggered times but the scent was the clear And your face was flush You let your fingers linger on my back Whenever I pa**ed near Stealing looks through the lunch rush I tried to kiss you in the stock room But you brushed me off - so professional So professional You made me pounce when I got you alone Back at my mother's house You got repaid in full Yes I got paid in full! A year goes by, it's the summertime And we're private beaching in the evening With the furry black kid And we've got some sneaky fingers And some twiney toes And they are reaching out to form a giant squid On our knees in the surf, wrapped in sand, With the waves crashing, And we're laughing and laughing and laughing... On the boardwalk home I joke about it ending in marriage But you were like, "No, that could never happen, baby..." And as time goes by You start to entangle yourselves It feels safe to settle for the cards you were dealt The living braid of two hearts in the shade of youth Why would you ever untether this parachute? Then at the summer's end I left home for school, Transatlantic miles between me and you I crossed that ocean twice to claim what's mine But all I saw of Scotland was your bedroom view I remember tugging you 'round the swimming pol down in Florida when you came on tour Yeah, but wasn't it the night before That you made sleep So apart from you on the hardwood floor? Years later, when you lived with me, It was hard, at first, to share a nest And made our spaces talk, But what we couldn't fix in our shared cocoon Could be macheted on a jungle walk And as time goes by You start to entangle yourselves It feels safe to settle for the cards you were dealt The living braid of two hearts in the shade of youth Why would you ever untether this parachute? And as time goes by You start to entangle yourselves It feels safe to settle for the cards you were dealt The living braid of two hearts in the shade of youth... Let's kick it Put your feet on my feet Keep your eyes on my eyes Cue the band Chopping hands Arms at ninety degrees March in place, soldier bear It's a curious dance In your serious pants With your unbending knees
