Porcupine Print E-mail

Written by: Dave Bills

We're creeping in to your consciousness
Slipping into the subconsciousness
Beating on your bedroom door
We are the monsters under your floor

We work at night, sight unseen
Making noises so obscene
Climbing up to the precipice
We've turned our lives into such a mess

I don't want to be the one that you're afraid of
I don't want to be the one you fear
I just want to see the stuff that you are made of
Then all I want is to hold you near

We are not unlike a porcupine
Rolling over from a bottle of wine
Laying bare our stock in trade
You'd better purchase all the things we've made

It's too late now
The brakes are cut
Breaking windows 'cause the doors are shut
Thinkin' I'll stop now
It's time to go
Can't get pulled over before the show

MY WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN A SIN OF OMISSION
SHOULD BE WORKING HARDER BUT I'VE GOT NO AMBITION
MUST BE THE AIR THAT I BREATHE
MAYBE THE CLOUDS IN THE SKY

TRIED TO HARD TO DO IT ALL SO MUCH BETTER
I'M GIVIN UP EARLY, THIS IS MY RESIGNATION LETTER
MUST BE THIS PLATE IN MY BRAIN
MAYBE AN APPLE IN MY EYE

I SPEND ENTIRELY TOO MUCH TIME
JUST SITTING AROUND THINKING
THERE MUST BE PLANES THAT I COULD CATCH
OR SHIPS I COULD BE SINKING
BUT WHEN I GO UPSTAIRS AT NIGHT
AND SEE THE SUN SHINING IN YOUR BEDROOM
THEN I KNOW
GOOD'S GOING TO COME SOON

MY WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN AN OBLIVIOUS SCAM
I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY - I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM
MUST BE A FEVERISH DREAM
MAYBE SOME PILLS IN MY WINE

I STUMBLE INTO GOODNESS LIKE SOME DRUNK ON A BUS
THE POWERS THAT BE BOUND YOU AND ME INTO US
ALMOST A MOMENT OBSCENE
SO LET THE JOY MISSILES FLY

I SPEND ENTIRELY TOO MUCH TIME
JUST SITTING AROUND DRINKING
IT'S TIME TO TELL ALL MY FRIENDS
WHAT THE HELL THAT I HAVE BEEN THINKING
SO WHEN I GO UPSTAIRS TONIGHT
AND HOLD YOU CLOSE IN THE HEAT OF OUR BEDROOM
I WILL KNOW
GOOD'S GOING TO COME SOON

SO IF I HAVE TO GO
WILL YOU FOLLOW ME DOWN
OR WILL I HAVE TO LEAVE YOU AT THE GATE
I SEE YOU SITTIN AT THE RIGHT HANDS OF SHIVA
LOVE YOU TOO MUCH TO EVER LEAVE YA
BUT I'M NOT SURE
I GOT MY LESSONS STRAIGHT
SO IF I HAVE TO GO
WILL YOU FOLLOW ME DOWN

WHEN THE END IS NEAR
NO MORE GAMES TO BE PLAYED
I'LL WHISPER IN YOUR EAR
JUST TO SEE IF I CAN MAKE YOU AFRAID
AND WHEN THE TIME COMES
WILL YOU FOLLOW ME DOWN

GUESS IT'S NOT SO BAD
DREAM OF THE THINGS THAT WE COULD HAVE HAD
WHEN IT GETS TOO DEEP
THEN I LAY DOWN ON THE COALS AND TRY TO GET SOME SLEEP
REMEMBER THE TIME WHEN
YOU SAID YOU'D FOLLOW ME DOWN
