I'm a steady child but I want you to notice me I want you to notice me charming With two's wild I want to show you my deuce I want to flick on my tunes Stumbling me I want to spark in my shit I want to shit in my phone Step right into my country my paws may come and loosen your neck on the ways to my country girls girls Steady muse lifting it up with my tongue ripping it up in my stomach Stained anger I want to glazen the mood I want to flick on my tunes Finishing light I want to show you my height I want to break in my kite Whistling to my wishing my walk may come and loosen ya come out high stepping with my country girls girls

Whisk a mice stone ways to mind Whist a mine tone ways to moan Wake an eye cone wake a tease Own my waking knees Work a mean foam make a find Make a wet phone make a tone Break in a store make a mars Fore my face ways cars Oh we're still trying ears Oh we're still trying ears Oh they're still trying ears Oh bear still trying ears Oh bear still dying gears Go bear the dying gears Oh we're still trying ears Go bear the dying gears Pain a state cone ways to pine Pail lice dome mace to meas Wolf and I don't want to tan Open up my man Breed a stain whore brace to time Oak core ice stow bake a bone Laiden eye noir oaf for nine Par is open wide Oh we're still trying ears Oh we're still trying ears Oh they're still trying ears Oh bear still trying ears Oh bear still dying gears Go bear the dying gears Oh we're still trying ears Go bear the dying gears

Only a simple thing Only a swing set Only a simple thing Only a tired catch Maybe you'll start whistling again Maybe I'll buy you some gloves A pair of tickets in your hands Slip a snickers in your pocket I'll pick up in the room I'll never do you harm I'll guarantee those eyes I will keep on the line Starting a quiet squirm Quietly tasting a worm Spent all our love on this time Could you open your eyes You've gone fishing Gone fishing Gone fishing Gone fishing Mine is a yogurt dish Mine is a heavy word Mine is a craft club Mine is a tall bird Maybe I'll sweep up the floors Maybe I'll paint the walls Maybe I'll tag along Maybe I'll tag but you're Gone Gone Gone Gone Fishing Gone Fishing Gone Fishing I'll find an afternoon Go get a haircut I'll try a new lunch I'll try a new lunch I'll start budgeting I'll start sleeping again I'll start calling my friends and you'll start Fishing Fishing Fishing
