Finn Pearson - Housing Estates Lyrics

All you poisonous grass snakes; you venomous insects
That live beneath rocks, well, what else to expect?
The words you spit out are carved into lances
And the toreador roars that it's time for the dances
To begin, and to end with the bull running you down
And I'll laugh and say, "You always were too loud"
So you can hide like the weeds beneath housing estates
But you know that I'm coming, as long as it takes

You that seek to rip down all I've worked to create
You that feed off used needles; off broken glass and off hate
Come and face me out here, at high noon in the street
So we can just shoot it out, and be left beneath sheets
For at least then I'd know where the shots had struck from
Instead of cowering, exposed, for hot pain and steel drums
So you can hide like the weeds beneath housing estates
But you know that we're coming, as long as it takes

You can wear masks of white plastic, and stab until I'm numb
You can crawl with the bloodworms and float with the pond scum
Stirring soy lattes in cafes in town
But when the storm floods wash in I hope that you drown
And at the end of the ages when it all falls apart
I'll be there at your door, holding my burning heart
And you can hide like the weeds beneath housing estates
But you know that I'm coming, as long as it takes

You can hide like the weeds beneath housing estates
But you know that I'm coming, as long as it takes

You can hide like the weeds beneath housing estates
But you know that I'm coming, as long as it takes

You can hide like the weeds beneath housing estates
But you know that I'm coming, as long as it takes
