Butcher Songtext

von Metric

EMILY:
You're so handsome in this light
If only you'd reject me tonight
Darling, there's no only way
When you come, please don't stay

We're so boring, we're so white
We've had too much, so long
Besides, what of freedom can I say?
When I smoke DuMaurier light

Learn to bend, learn to swerve
Learn to bend, learn to butcher

I could look wholesome in this light
Brown and homely's lovely
Besides, where can we go wrong?
We stray for nothing now

So just once more fall for the stone
Neglect the flesh to pursue the bone
Darling, beauty daily bread

Say learn to bend, learn to swerve

JIMMY:
Do it to make amends and do it over again

EMILY:
Learn to bend, learn to butcher

JIMMY:
We'll make amends and do it over again

EMILY:
Learn to bend, learn to swerve

JIMMY:
Do it to make amends and do it over again

EMILY:
Learn to bend, learn to butcher

JIMMY:
We'll make amends and do it over again

EMILY:
Do it over
