Zig Lyrics by Speedy Ortiz

Foil Deer

2015

How many laps does it take to decide you’re back at the start?
Pace ‘er like a machine, anachronistic with scissor kicking

No good at all
No good at all
No good

Push both components at the very same time
Now tighten the gear
You need both components at the very same time
Now tighten the gear here

What’s wrong with just playing possum, panting cot to co
And making life a stiller life by metrics?
It’s true that if you go inside you might never come out
What’s wrong with just playing possum, pawing tooth to root?
And when I’m sad, I burn for more extraction
It’s true that if I go inside I might never come out

That’s why we’ll go closely through the woods, and trust me, completely
