Shuck Songtext

von You Am I

The superpower I wanted I could best visualise
With my French verbs lost to this enterprise
To freeze motion and thought in all others while I
Romance the teacher, madame, parle-moi
I could keep us in cheese and wine 'til the day we decide, yeah

Forty years living in the back of my throat
Affection to the letter, and never I wrote
Still trust in my super freakin' skills
And I'm yours, from the terrors, to the morning
When the focus pries

Well I suggest I can't caress
With just a soft eye stare
A moxie tickle in my joints
Annoy my infancy
Shuck the past, my poise
The background noise

And I am such a child now with
Such a liquid mind, my credo
Shows me ways to go
Shuck the ceiling from the walls

To avoid complications with next of kin
Keep the platitudes aplenty, the bloodletting thin
And I'm still daydreamin', my super freakin' skills
When you forgive me for the terrors, to the morning
When the memory pries

Well I suggest I can't caress
With just a soft eye stare
A moxie tickle in my joints
Annoy my infancy
Shuck the past, my poise
The background noise

And I am such a child now with
Such a liquid mind, my credo
Shows me ways to go
Shuck the ceilings from the walls, yeah

And I am such a child now with
Such a liquid mind, my credo
Shows me ways to go
Shuck the ceilings from the walls, yeah

Dress-up box, or glitter on a cause
Eyebrows raised, and leave a pretty corpse, yeah

We'll flap like a Chinese fish through the details
And I'll tell you I love ya
'Til one of us is saved
And one of us pries the whole roof away

Annoy my infancy
Shuck the past, my poise
The background noise

And I am such a child now with
Such a liquid mind, my credo
Shows me ways to go
Shuck the ceilings from the walls, yeah

Yeah, I am such a child now with
Such a liquid mind, my credo
Shows me ways to go
Shuck the ceilings from the walls, yeah

Shake it all around
Shake 'em all around...
(You won't believe it...)
