lyrics

James Jefferys - Capsized

Soon, your obsequious suppliers
Would have brought you your horizon,
Found good use for their incisors
And ripped some flesh, cannibalising

Comedians with no known ties,
Tearing in the middle of them
And their obsidian eyes
Licking up the lids and then

When the bones are boiled soft,
We’re all alone and cordoned off
On the throne, and you’re the boss
Yet your jaw is wet,
With you not getting it
Your own little way.

This heralds in an era of dodging –
Where everything has seen better days
And your wetter traits
Are on salty straits,
Acres inland,
No trace of sand,
Not surprised that
They’ve capsized.

A tad saddened by these cavernous walls
He had had all the mad ones, and scathed them all –
Managed to handle a malaise of cool –
Not bad for a lad who was raised by wolves.

This heralds in an era of dodging –
Where everything has seen better days
And your wetter traits
Are on salty straits,
Acres inland,
No trace of sand,
Not surprised that
They’ve capsized.

Watching you, learning
Like a roof that you’re thatching
Doesn’t make you more discerning
Tongues are burning, taste is patchy

And while you’re in that far-off country
Tripping, stumbling from the heat
Everyone says the very same something –
You gotta try that lovely meat…

This heralds in an era of dodging –
Where everything has seen better days
And your wetter traits
Are on salty straits,
Acres inland,
No trace of sand,
Not surprised that
They’ve capsized.
