Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She stared down the flashing street
Heard nearby schemes
Snapped to the tangled day
On scattered grasses, squawking birds
Came a rusty breeze
He snuck through a sewage bayou to say
[Chorus]
I am the animus of intimate kitchen buzzards
I planted all those lilacs near the prison
I can't work under these conditions
I am a credible business person, you can't handle my acumen
Oh, you never get my references
[Verse 2]
She glanced down a flickering alley
Stood on clanking grates
Faint smoke of grilled meat and garbage
Rats chatter through their sharp teeth
Following wet scent of asphalt cum
From the shadows, he emerged to proclaim
[Chorus]
I am and all this significant intercommunication
I planted all those lilacs near the prison
I can't work under these conditions
I am your magnificent, mindless collaborator
You can't handle my references
[Bridge]
She was disenchanted by
The machine languid
Thought she knew something
Heard through all the noise
She was disenchanted by
The machine languid
Thought she knew something
Thought she knew better
No
[Outro]
All comes at once
All comes at once
A pain you may not recognize
All comes at once
All comes at once
All comes at once
I am the animus of intimate kitchen buzzards
I am your magnificent, mindless collaborator
You can't handle my references
I planted all those lilacs near the prison
