Laika - Prairie Dog

Album:

prairie now isn't that a pretty word
rolls off the tongue like a setting sun
you should have heard what I heard
a shriek a syllable a sleight of hand

prairie now isn't that a lonely word
slips through the hands like a falling star
you should have seen what I saw
a mask an artifice a skillful smear

if I could pull the nerves from my skin
if I could pull the nerves from my skin I would

prairie now isn't that an evil word
trips on its feet like a slouching beast
surely things will change now
a start a plan a place to go
if I could pull the nerves from my skin
if I could pull the nerves from my skin I would

prairie now isn't that a pretty word
rolls off the tongue like a setting sun
you should have heard what I heard
a shriek a syllable a sleight of hand

surely things will change now
surely things will change now
surely things will change now
surely things will change now
