Two Sides of a Sore Lyrics

I've clipped the fins right off my goldfish new
He'll be better off at the bottom of the bowl
Down in this hole
As earthbound as the bird inside your cage
Or the dolls of wax inside my soul
I am the mole

You scorch my skin with the wax off your wings
How much longer? how much longer?
How high can you fly before...?
Excelsior!
Two sides of a sore
Two sides of a sore

Standing in the shower trying to scrub off all the dirt
But it's no use to wipe my ass or scrub until it hurts
It makes it worse
Cause in the outside world the shit still sticks
No matter if you're getting kicked or getting your kicks
The shit still sticks

You scorch my skin with the wax off your wings
How much longer? how much longer?
How high can you fly before...?
Excelsior!
Two sides of a sore
Two sides of a sore

We're different sides of the same sore
We're different sides of the same sore
We're different sides of the same sore
We're different sides of the same sore
