lyrics

Figs are falling down outside my window overnight
and I get frightened,
I don’t know if I believe they’re all alone out there
the way I am alone inside of here.

They’re sticky and inviting.
Colonizing ants are everywhere!
My feet are never clean each time I venture through their spread remains..

are spattered everywhere.
Their remains are spattered everywhere.
Their remains are spattered everywhere.
Their remains are spattered everywhere!
All sticky and inviting
in the night outside my window
where they fall and I am frozen in my skin.

Suddenly, I wonder, what’s that rustling?
Raccoons out there assembling,
opossums filling up their GIANT mouths
and crunching down.
Oh it’s so loud,
and I can’t sleep.
Oh it’s so loud,
and I can’t sleep.
Oh it’s so loud.
While the noises pick their teeth,
keeping count of all the seeds,
spinning round and spitting out the rotten ones..

are spattered everywhere
Their remains are spattered everywhere.
Their remains are spattered everywhere.
Their remains are spattered everywhere!
All rotten and inviting
in the night outside my window
where they fall and I am scared to look away.
