lyrics

it’s a chicken world
now that you feed it
all of it whirls
taking observed to see unknown
feed it the dirt
now that you need her all unearthed
like a birth
woke me in delight
when you need me I’ll be grown
something bleeds when I’m alone
in the blue night
when you need me I’ll be home
calling years across the phone
stuck in July
better a girl
now that you need it
give her a whirl
taking her world out where they go
give her the worm
taken what’s needed
show her concern
give it deserved
tell her it’s alright
when you need me I’ll be grown
I can feel it alone
holding her tight
with the pieces I don’t know
she can spin through the unknown
living daylight
what’s with the world?
Now that you need it
has unfurled
chicken girl showed you a green light
cover the curls
bury the feeling
of the world
coming concerned
shuddering delight
when you need me I’ll be grown
in a park under the dome
stuck in July
hack a hint of old cologne
in my basement with the bones
in the blue night
