lyrics

Hey
You’ve got a lot to release
The claws along your chest
The snails inside your throat

Come on up, to the New York island
Spend money we don't have
On something everyone needs

I've been alone all year
In solitary confinement
My head is thinning,
My brain isn’t working,
My voice is breaking

Tonight, in the rabbit hole
You know, you'll feel better
You’ll take a shot of me,
I'll take a shot of you,
And we’ll climb the way out together

A buddy of mine in Jersey
Kicked me out onto the street
I wasn't surprised in the least

I ran across the highway
Walked miles on the side of the road
In the mud and ice under the moonlight

Passed by the sign
said “military vehicles only
beyond this point”
But I kept going
You can't stop going

Tonight in the rabbit hole
You’ll feel better
Take a shot of me
I’ll take a shot of you
And the taste remains

Boys are so strange
They're always on the move
Their faces are deranged

And boys without fathers
They scream through the pain
Their hearts are an ocean

And the dogs and the cats
of the neighborhood
they know every fire
begins with wood

They don't have a role
in the cosmic play
they sit and watch us
all anyway

Yeah, the dogs and the cats
of our neighborhood
they sit with the elders
the trees and the rivers

They dream of the day
they'll orbit the earth
they’ll leave this town
again

And boys without mothers
Will take home the world
