Tar Tongue

It never take so long
It never take
It never take
It never take so long
It never take
It never take so long
Walked myself into the black woods
Everything’s too dark in this light
Need some shade to obscure the tar ball
Leaves to weave an unending night
Black tar bubbled right out of my mouth
Made a road wherever I’d gone
Highrise franchise all to my surprise
Paved the way and they had come
I wait
Pacing at the gate
With one coin under my tongue
It never take so long
It never take
It never take
It never take so long
It never take
It never take so long
I’m a moth, you are a porchlight
Head smashed in against your glow
Left my dust to tarnish the outside
Sighed, said it’d suffice and go
If I knew the rock would not reach the top
I would want to be a useless machine
But even then I’m still one of them
A thought; a box; a long walk
Aw gee, what’ve you done with me
I chose a path of three
It never take so long
It never take
It never take
It never take so long
It never take
It never take
It never take so long
It never take
It never take
It never take so long
It never take
It never take so long
