The Rake 02:43
The rake is placed down The lake seems way out Put it down Put it out Take a ride in that gown Turn it up Play it down Turn this car crash around Black light Back porch, now Does it feel right, tonight? Do you lean into the light? Rip it up Slick it down Take a ride in that gown Turn it up Play it down Turn that car crash around

Wandered into work, wondered where you were, cruising through my jealousy What kind of freaks gets nervous when they eat, apart from freaks like me? What kind of freaks get nervous when they eat, apart from you and me?

No second looks but I'm on the East coast so I'm on the SoCo thinking in shlo-mo Don't you drink to '03 any more anyway? Fists in the distance, cassette playing pictures, still you're not really out there somehow doing something right now But my memory's coming back to me Just cus you're boyfriend's back it don't mean that we can't split this bottle of codeine, so you can tell me what exactly your t-shirt means.
