Stumpside - Lyrics by Rasputina


Lyrics
All that I have is this dull paring knife     Peeling potatoes for the rest of my life.     Dirt floors make dust so I hope for the best.     I carry candies with pains in my chest.     Face tied together with three-times-usedstring.     Follow me see what I mean.     Fixing a fencepost or feeding a cow,     Twopenny saltlick I never ask how.     Animals like me though folks turn away,     I like the pigeons I like what they say.     We come alone and leave alone and look thehorse in the mouth.     We scratch the skin and break the bone andsee birds migrating south.     By the side of the stump where she told usthese things     If you hear a bell ring you get some wings.     Don't bother looking for what I've neglectedto bring.     By the side of the stump where she told methese things     If you hear a bell ring you get some wings.     She's fallen farther than feathers that floatin the wind.     I saw a wishing well down by the stream     I never understood what wishes mean     Just ask for nothing you get what you get.     I asked for something I've not got it yet.
