Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Native intelligence, hard to find
Animal eloquence, sometimes
Searching for relevance online
Here comes the eulogy
[Verse 2]
Trust me, children, trust me, darlin'
Taking a bath in cyanide, taking a bath
Taking a bath in cyanide, taking a bath
Don't you want to play?
Don't you want to play?
Don't you want to play?
[Verse 3]
Native intelligence nowhere
Searching for evidence in the air
Talk to the elephants, waste of time
Here comes the eulogy
[Verse 4]
Trust me, children, trust me, baby
Taking a bath in cyanide, taking a bath
Taking a bath in cyanide, taking a bath
Don't you want to play? (Don't you want to play?)
Don't you want to play? (Don't you want to play?)
Don't you want to play? (Don't you want to play?)
[Verse 5]
I'd like to rejoice
I dream, of a choice
To regain a fraction of a life
Not reaction
I dream (I dream)
I dream (I dream)
[Verse 6]
Native intelligence, hard to find
Animal eloquence, sometimes
Here comes the eulogy
[Verse 7]
Trust me, children, trust me, darlin'
Taking a bath in cyanide, taking a bath
Taking a bath in cyanide, taking a bath
Taking a bath in cyanide
[Verse 8]
I'd like to rejoice
I dream, of a choice
To regain a fraction of a life
Not reaction
I dream (I dream)
I dream (I dream)
Giving up all my energy
Giving up all my energy
Giving up all my energy
Giving up all my energy
