Lyrics

I ain't your passenger nowI ain't your passenger nowNor your equipment An auditory trick They're a boot that begs to be licked I am the tarmac, I'm the pilot I'm the flight path, can't get past that [Chorus] Well, they'll go crazy if you don't go crazy somehow And I'm not crazy 'bout what they're so crazy 'bout now [Verse 2] We've been eating our ownWe've been eating our youngWe've been eating our own young Idle hands around the devil's throat A suicide note that another's hand wroteAnd we're used to this [Chorus] And they'll go crazy if you don't go crazy somehowAnd I'm not crazy 'bout what they're so crazy 'bout now [Bridge] Picking dragons' pockets and away we go Breathed in poison, then you breathe out smoke It's clear I'm looking for an anecdote Well, you pay for garbage, and you've cast your vote I found out just how low I'd go Came up from the bottom looking like a ghost I tried to go to Auckland but just did not go Turns out when it rains, it snows [Verse 3] A pile of leaves in the wind Fresh clothes on dirty skinThe means to meet no ends again [Pre-Chorus] Picking dragons' pockets and away we go My eyes are their eyes, watch the show Facts aren't facts on screens that glow But we're a pretty tricky little animal [Chorus] Well, I'm not crazy 'bout what they're so crazy 'bout now And they'll go crazy if you don't go crazy somehow [Bridge] The looked-at side of a microscope Voice to skull, try to crush your soulBut we're pretty tricky little animalsKillers get killed, that's just the way it goes Well, something that I know for sureIs love makes love and hate makes moreWe're pretty tricky little animals Well, we're pretty tricky little animalsWell, something that I know for sureIs love makes love but hate makes moreFor sure, a pretty tricky little animalWe're a pretty tricky little animal [Outro] I ain't your passenger now I ain't your passenger now I'm just equipment We've been eating our own We've been eating our young We've been eating our own young
