Written by James Mercer
The tycho, don't you know nothing? The doors on the oven Wide enough to make us all kin Psychotic boy scout Let it all gush out Shopping your brains out now at the bargain bins
So many to germs to avoid Thinking about it just nurtures them Baby, return to your toys A little mental hideaway
You're painting a hole Can you crawl up inside it? You're painting a hole On everyone in your way You're painting a hole To magical violence You're painting a hole But it keeps fading away
Morning dove One thing I'm sure of Kisses ain't near enough To reign the vultures in Every good girl and boy Prized away from the firmament Elegant hands unemployed Or on a permanent holiday
You're painting a hole Can you crawl up inside it? You're painting a hole On everyone in your way You're painting a hole To magical violence You're painting a hole But it keeps fading away
Every Popsicle enjoyed Prized away from the firmament But baby return to your toys A little mental hideaway
You're painting a hole Can you crawl up inside it? You're painting a hole On everyone in your way You're painting a hole To magical violence You're painting a hole But it keeps fading away
