Cryptozoology

put the bread into the oven,
we're going out tonight
among the streets rolling down the hills
to pick a fight,
the food in the kitchen is gonna cook itself,
i don't care if you don't care,
get your boots, we're going out tonight.

there's a sheep in your belly
and a tiger on your leash,
i've got a wolf in the backyard
trying to make the most of it.
i know he knows the sound of my steps when i come home,
i know if i pretend to be someone else he'll leave me alone.

horns, feathers, tails, my friend -
if you look close enough you've got all of them
and if the gates open and they'll come with a dozen men
you just lie down and sleep just because you can.
you're invincible when you're invisible
and weak when present.
they say nobody will take out the trash for you,
bags of all things unpleasant
but little do they know about the claws you've grown
and what's gonna sprout in your bed out of the seeds you've sown.

i know you know my steps when i come home
and i know you know if i pretend to be someone else
you'll leave me alone. you'll leave me alone.
but what about if i open the back door and let you in?
we'll sleep like spoons until day begins.
what about if i let you in?
we'll sleep like spoons until day begins.
