lyrics

With the feather in my hand!

Said a solemn, sacred prayer:
lightning paper.
Had a problem, asked a favor:
lightning paper.

Sad to know this town was built with violence.
Hard to show my guilt in just one sentence,
with all these bones exposed.

First I neutered the cold stapler:
lightning paper.
Took the root word, made it shapelier (o):
lightning paper.

O this deadline makes me feel pathetic,
and this red wine makes these pills prophetic.
The most expected toast.

Public statement.
Proofread, edit.
O this language:
so embedded.
Said "I'm sorry"
and I meant it.
Lightning paper
come and shred it.
And all these charges,
it's extensive.
Reservations,
it's expensive pride.

'Lectric weather in my hands.
(Lightning paper).
Check for spells on their mother's land
(Lightning paper).
Pray this writing be deemed "sincere"
(lightning paper)
for this lightning on this page won't smear.
O "o" you tell me.
Lightning paper.
Lightning paper
strike me soon.
