I’m the ghost of Christmas past
(probably Easter, but a ghost).
Not too sure of where I’m at
or where the fuck I’m supposed to go.
Hide all the brown in your eyes!
Hide all the brown in your eyes!
I have no native tongue to turn
and barely know the one I’ve got.
Of all the storylines I’ve learned,
mines the dumbest one I’ve bought
Hide all the brown in your eyes! Hide all the brown
Hide all the brown in your eyes! in your eyes
Hide all the brown in your eyes! boy.
Hide all the brown in your eyes!
Let dandelions pour their spores inside your poisoned skin.
Trade it all for porcelain and tame your mother’s wild tongue
and you’ll be one of us
you’ll be one of us
you’ll be one of us
you’ll be one of us
and we’ll pretend you exist
pretend you exist
otherwise, kid, you are gonna fucking
DROWN!
DROWN!
DROWN!
DROWN!
DROWN!
DROWN!
DROWN
but we’ll pretend you exist
pretend you exist
pretend you exist
pretend you exist
and you’ll be one of us
you’ll be one of us.
Just cut out those
shit brown eyes.
