Dare to Tread Lyrics by Tall Dwarfs

Fork Songs

1991

Hey
I love your feet of finest clay
They stir me in the strangest way
You never have much to say
Oh your monologue's a total cliche

You're so hollow, you
I cannot follow you
Where you dare to tread
I'm sure to wind up dead
There's nothing better left unsaid
And nothing's what you like to do

Most people love the likes of you
They jostle for a better view
They can't believe you're really true
'Cause truth is dirt and no-one's clean as you

You're so hollow, you
I cannot follow you
Where you dare to tread
I'm sure to wind up dead
There's nothing better left unsaid
And that's exactly what you say

The sun has turned a purest grey
The world around us stoops to pray
You open up your mouth and bray
With bestial naivete

You're so hollow, you
I cannot follow you
Where you dare to tread
I'm sure to wind up dead
There's nothing better left unsaid
And nothing's good enough for you

Your eyes are of the clearest blue
They gleam like something rare and new
You use them to disguise what's you
And if I were you I'd do that too

You're so hollow, you
I cannot follow you
Where you dare to tread
I'm sure to wind up dead
There's nothing better left unsaid
And that's exactly what you say

You're so hollow, you
I cannot follow you
Where you dare to tread
I'm sure to wind up dead
There's nothing better left unsaid
And that's exactly what you say

I love your feet of finest clay
They stir me in the strangest way
You never have much to say
Oh your monologue's a total cliche

You're so hollow, you
I cannot follow you
Where you dare to tread
I'm sure to wind up dead
There's nothing better left unsaid
I know that's what you like to do

Your eyes are of the clearest blue
They gleam like something rare and new
You use them to disguise what's you
And if I were you I'd do that too

You're so hollow, you
I cannot follow you
Where you dare to tread
I'm sure to wind up dead
There's nothing better left unsaid
And that's exactly what you say
