Borateen Lyrics by ​sElf

Subliminal Plastic Motives

0

[Verse 1]
Stand awake and unglued
We've got critical plans
What an incredible view
Why don't you soak it all in?
I've been given the option to live into the new year
I've been stuck between a rock and a vinyl interior

[Pre-Chorus]
And I've got just enough to share
I've got enough to pass it along
And I'm just so damn glad I'm here
Isn't everyone?

[Chorus]
Borateen, tell me what's it all mean
And it's bad enough that I'm having to figure it out
Borateen, I'm the king of my castle
When I drown it down
You spin me around, ooh

[Verse 2]
Not a boy, not a man
Innocence dissolved in your hand
It's a crutch, it's a crush
It's a sudden rush and it's unplanned
It's a ball, it's a chain
It's a crying shame that it's a gas
Understand
It's the only urge anyone has

[Pre-Chorus]
And I've got just enough to share
I've got enough to pass it along
And I'm just so damn glad i'm here
Isn't everyone?

[Chorus]
Borateen, tell me what's it all mean
And it's bad enough that I'm having to figure it out
Borateen, I'm the king of my castle
When I drown it down
You spin me around, ooh

[Bridge]
Not just anyone
Bold as I've become
Bite your lazy tongue
It's a sin to me
All your flattery
Is just sympathy

It's just sympathy

[Pre-Chorus]
And I've got just enough to share
I've got enough to pass it around
And I'm just so damn glad I'm here
You know where I'm from

[Chorus]
Borateen, tell me what's it all mean
And it's bad enough that I'm having to figure it out
Borateen, I'm the king of my castle
When I drown it down
You spin me around, ooh
