Stuart Price - No Reptiles lyrics

[Verse 1] Slip from the trees to the dirt to the menace To the wild to the car, under snow, cut to ribbons Like a coral to your shin, like a manacle to swing Fresh from the breast, now a river running fat To the manor born a rat, to the manor born a flea To a flood to a drain, now a rubber, now a chain [Bridge] I was in the war You were in the war [Verse 2] Plump from the sugar-water pump With the city at your back to the cannon with a match From a milk into a ma** grave Never mind that, I can take that Bones in a bowl like a toad-in-the-hole Take the shape of the mould Like a mummy on a pole and a merry little head Bob around when you're dead [Bridge] I was on my knees You were on your knees [Chorus] And no reptiles Just soft boiled eggs in shirts and ties Waiting for the flashing green man Quivering and wobbling just like all the eggs you know [Bridge] I'm going to k** a stranger So don't you be a stranger [Verse 3] Oh baby, it's alright It's alright to feel like a fat child in a pushchair Old enough to run Old enough to fire a gun Oh baby, it's alright It's alright to feel like a fat child in a pushchair Old enough to run Old enough to fire a gun Oh baby, it's alright It's alright to feel like a fat child in a pushchair Old enough to run Old enough to fire a gun [Verse 4] Just give me this one night Just one night to feel Like I might be on the right path The path that takes me home Wise enough to know myself Just give me this one night Just one night to feel Like I might be on the right path Old enough to fire a gun Just give me this one night Just one night to feel Like I might be on the right path The path that takes me home Wise enough to know myself Just give me this one night Just one night to feel
