Soft Animal Lyrics by Long Neck

Soft Animal

2022

[Verse 1]
Who told you you have to be good?
They fed you a lie and you took it
But I am no better
I'm a liar too, with a tongue like a serpent
[Chorus]
Polite and gracious
Posture straightens, oh
[Verse 2]
Gathered my friends like they were all marbles
Rolling around in my palms
Corralled in my arms, watchful eye like the stars
Didn't know it was harmful
[Chorus]
I was polite and gracious
Posture straightens
I was polite and gracious
[Bridge]
I'm not your mother, I never was
You bit the bullet, but I jumped the gun
When I checked your teeth and saw they were fine
I started worrying all about mine
What does your body want?
What does it need?
I'm not your mother, I never will be
I'm in a field looking up at the wild geese
They're flying south, there's one left behind
I try to push the outcome from my mind
Who do you love? How do you love them?
What do you want? How do you show it?
What does your body say?
Do you honor it anyway?
