Animals of Prey Lyrics by The Hidden Cameras

The Smell of Our Own

0

We go down like moles
Claws dig an endless hole
We descend on fours
Our snouts lead us on
We fall down without notes
And so we build a barren moat
Work through the night, our eyes opaque
Our fingers cold, kisses in rain
We fall down in pairs
Moles locked in a blind stare
Your pearly mouth, it cracks a smile
Without a sound, the blind lead blind
We the animals of prey have become cannibals untamed
Under the stars the moles go far into the earth like a sinking stone
We ascend as swans
Glide through blue waters calm
Exhausted head, it falls asleep
Under a rock, after the dig
Wake up as swans
Some suck, for no warmth
Left in the night, the moles asleep
Forgotten prey, dead rodents stink
We get up as swans
Big bird in a small pond
Our eyes are smiles
Our fingers cold
Our lips have frowns
Our toes have mold
We the animals of prey
Have become the cannibals of day
Tucked in the night we use our spear
And make a mold
Where we play dead
We the animals of prey
Have become the cannibals of day
Tucked in the night we use our spear
And make a mold
Where we play dead
We play dead
We play dead
We play dead
We play dead
We play dead
We play dead
We play dead
We play dead
