Texty: Stephen Malkmus. Pencil Rot.
There's a villain in my head
And he's giving me shocks (shocks, shocks, shocks; shocks, shocks, shocks)
Save me from me, save me from me
His name is leather mcwhip
And he needs to be stopped (stopped, stopped, stopped; stopped, stopped, stopped)
Fly above me, fly above my roam
Fly above me, fly above me
Well I never had much of a lovely go (go go go; go go go)
Leave me hiving, having ever
It's like my mind's been touched
Though I never was born (was born son; was born son)
please deform me, please deform me
Let me out
Of my head
In my bed
It's a lovely leather bound poison
No more shine
With the frame
Of the brain
It's a lovely leather bound poison
It's pencil rot!
He catered to
the secondhand weakness of
Everybody had a second love
that make you want to come on
But my mind was a spinner and
it never was down
I swung around the kids and found my head of love and tried to fall on
But she saved me, saved me
saved me, saved me
I'm here to sing a song
a song about privilege
the spikes you put on your feet
when you were crawling
and dancing to the top of a
human shit pile, shit pile
Somehow you managed to elucidate
something that was on all of their minds
all of their minds
And all people see themselves
in you and i can see them
in you too
In my head, there's a bed
It's unmade
It's a lovely leather bound poison
No more ghosts
when the most
i was wrong
was a kitchen's song
leather bound poison
get your bound poison
get your bound poison
It's Pencil Rot!
And he's giving me shocks (shocks, shocks, shocks; shocks, shocks, shocks)
