Tiger Tank Lyrics
Was it my teeth or my tongue that said
"Glue shut your lips, let us take a rest"
Oh my mouth is a factory for every toxic part of speech I spew
Late, languorous and afraid to ask
Caught my reflection in some sea-washed glass
Oh, my face is unable to convey how very awfully I'm doing
Laugh out of habit at the lump schematics
I smoked my senses, it made me so demented
I see me and you in the kennel cough,
Signaling the sleuths of the trail we trot.
Expansion rattles out this old lump.
Bats get bristled; the imps heat up
Spoon out the sweet stuff for streetwise smut
Oh, my gut absorbs the fiercest blows
You never thought you'd have to throw
Laugh out of habit at the lump schematics
My psychic tenses make me so defensive
I see me and you in the tiger tank
Swimming as they yowl; soon they're tearing us
Limb from every limb to the kennel cough
Limb from every limb to the
Don't even care if they take my legs
I've limped before, I can limp again
Though my limp is not able to display
How very awfully I'm doing
"Glue shut your lips, let us take a rest"
Oh my mouth is a factory for every toxic part of speech I spew
Caught my reflection in some sea-washed glass
Oh, my face is unable to convey how very awfully I'm doing
I smoked my senses, it made me so demented
I see me and you in the kennel cough,
Signaling the sleuths of the trail we trot.
Expansion rattles out this old lump.
Spoon out the sweet stuff for streetwise smut
Oh, my gut absorbs the fiercest blows
You never thought you'd have to throw
My psychic tenses make me so defensive
I see me and you in the tiger tank
Swimming as they yowl; soon they're tearing us
Limb from every limb to the kennel cough
Limb from every limb to the
I've limped before, I can limp again
Though my limp is not able to display
How very awfully I'm doing

According to Sadie Dupuis -
"That song was about coping with depression and having people not believe you because you can put on a good face and pretend it's not an issue. It's frustrating to not be believed."
