lyrics

it was once upon a time
I met you & went totally blind
single file was the line
you in front, me behind

you on top, me below
like an eagle to a motherfucking webelo
convinced of my inequality
til the mole had to come deprogram me

rats gnawing through the bedboard
& nibbling at my feet
mistaking your stench & condescension
for a molded piece of cheese
when the mess is made & the lights are hit
& it's suddenly time to leave
just go

I can't be what I want to be
with a flying squirrel over me
I'm not a platypus, I'd like to breathe
there's a rat in the trap you laid for me

they were right, I was wrong
about you being right all along
tomato tomato, potato potato,
you say tomato & I say fuck you

(chorus)

please go
it's what a rodent would do
& it's just so like you
