Bashful Hips - Slept It Off Lyrics

Mice have taken refuge in my car's air conditioner
And I'm about to declare all-out war
Because this is the car I need to use to go out on tour

And the frustration of a lack of proper foundation
Is maybe why we saw that guy tear out his eyes and loose his mind
But I once heard it's the complex combination of a chemical reaction
And the decision is not even yours
And I guess it's the season to unconsciously stream uneven
And I guess it's the reason you've only felt like you've been dealing
And all you want is healing, but your mind is constantly plotting treason

It's a birthday celebration of an occasion you forgot
So you tied a rose and spoke a poem and went home to sleep it off
It's a birthday celebration of an occasion you forgot
So you tied a rose and spoke a poem and went home to sleep it off

So I lost the battle to the enemy
So I shook his hand because I was beaten into defeat
But now I'm wishing that I was just a little bit more petty

But sometimes that's just how things go
When you go toe to toe, with forces that you don't know
You can retire but that weight is god damn heavy
And no one wants to go out on a loss
And no one wants to see that belt strapped on someone else
So you volunteer yourself to be strangled in a mayday scarf
And hung from a tree with its bark carved off
With different shades of color covering you up

When you pull yourself out of the grave
That someone you don't know made
Rubbing the snow from your eyes
When you look outside
Will it look sublime?
Or more like an earthquake?

It's a birthday celebration of an occasion you forgot
So you tied a rose and spoke a poem and went home to sleep it off
It's a birthday celebration of an occasion you forgot
So you tied a rose and spoke a poem and went home to sleep it off
