about

A song about gaslighting, King Lear, frogs, and old dogs about to be put down with a gun.

lyrics

Your bone in my mouth
When danger comes around
I’ll carry you through the crowd I’ll carry you down
Your cheeks in my hands
As the riots rage outside
We can hide here my dear It’s safe to hide

But did you mistake me honey
Didn’t you take me for gold?
I’ve been dying to be your fool
But i feel so old, old, old
I shall go mad in this tempest so staggeringly cold
I cannot reason my need but I plead you

(instrumental)

Chalk it up to missed cues
Excuse my littlest lapse in
"rearin’ tearin’ hunting for fun"
I knew the score from day one
(I’ll step out)
Blow winds and crack your cheeks

But didn’t you know me honey
When you said I was the moon?
I’ve been growing so small these days
And I’ll be gone soon, soon, soon

(instrumental)

Weeeell, My son Johnny caught a frog last night
Left it in the rain barrel overnight
When he came out it was frozen inside
Tell me oh tell me: is he dead or alive?

(spoken frog intel)

(instrumental)

And he calls me back in like a dog at night
Doesn’t ask where I’ve been
Doesn’t tell me the time
Just reels me back in like a fish on the line
And I’ll be your king till you’ll have me no more
I’ll howl at your door: “are you sure?”
