letra de the stump - jam baxter

[verse 1]
all seems quiet
guess they’re gonna ram it out later
my worlds were dividing
flesh like handfuls of old newspaper
some foul smell wrinkles the fat, red face of the c-cktail waiter
he sneezed out seven more bar staff
scuttling around like rats in fantasia
it’s all filling up
some kid brought his whole past with him
that’s from from 2012 with the meth lab stare and the sour cream filling
that’s him from his teen-goth-lip-stick phase
we all thought he went missing
12 more at the back bar grinning
me and her sat there chilling
by midnight she’d had a few kids, by 7 she’d had a bunch more
it was jarring
they chewed at our kneecaps under the table and picked at our shins
left deep, red scarring
at 2am ten of my twins pulled up in three-wheelers and snuck through a side door
lined up behind me ready to swap seats
and sell her a lost freak
this tequila’s to die for
d-mn… she kept snake eggs in a silver purse
d-mn… now let’s all multiply till the building bursts

[verse 2 & hook]
he could have filled a church with shades of himself all kneeling in prayer
as hundreds of stained gl-ss scenes from his childhood spin around us 6 feet in the air
told them to hide in the trunk
never mind me, i’m drunk
swarm of people around us
millions of twinkling-eyes in this dump
if you wanna be by yourself
you should have said that right from the jump
but when you’ve sawn off the left hand
how you gonna slice off the right with the stump?
(how you gonna slice off the right with a stump?)
(how you gonna slice off the right with a stump?)

[verse 3 & hook]
rumour has it i’m still in the wild wriggling
tugging my t–th out in a vietnamese chemist
the sun on my back, staggering, fleeing a green menace
that’s pulling my brain out and deleting the clean edits
squeezing the days dry and then eating the sweet relish
the sweltering heat melting the skin on my scalp bubbling
rattling guns firing a million rounds up at him
guessing they all still ain’t forgiven him
how troubling
nah, lies
i’m on my ones at the table tucking in my napkin
imma eat all night while the walls are collapsing (yeah)
blood red everything, everything matching (matching)
reptile eggs in the cold air hatching (yeah)
we lived our lives like sci-fi epics (epics)
just my name three thousand times on the credits (scrolling)
we were pelted with pills like shotgun pellets
and after a while we were just sending our stunt doubles to parties in red capes to tug at the night’s innards
slipping in mud dribbling blood in their wine spritzers
coming back with a skull and a couple of nice pictures
all these plastic figures are peering out of the cupboards
i just rang the bell and greeted a shivering shop dummy
and every possible future is stuck on a spinning wheel
she just pushed her little hand on the buzzer and got lucky
‘sir! these extra faces cost money!’
i sped away grinning and burnt a full tank
he surrounded himself with himself
and then sat there waiting one to pull rank
the trouble ain’t the endless debauchery and depravity behind us all
the trouble’s remembering every minute
but no-one’s gonna turn up and hand you a tiny island with a single deck chair in the centre of the pacific
wait, wait, never mind me, i’m drunk
swarm of people around us millions of twinkling eyes in this dump
if you wanna be by yourself, (you)
you should have said that right from the jump
but, when you’ve sawn off the left hand, how you gonna slice off the right with the stump? (wait, wait)
never mind me, i’m drunk
swarm of people around us, millions of twinkling eyes in this dump
if you wanna be by yourself
you should have said right from the jump
should have said right from the jump
