about

from Buttercup's "Battle of Flowers" album on Bedlamb/Palo Santo Records

lyrics

tragically slipped into what people call a flippin' rut
you can’t out of it
you can’t get out of it
you can’t you’re stuck

coin a phrase on a dime time to pay the man
clammer up shimmy down hide your soul
offerings on a plate rot when left alone
pick it up take a bite
swallow fly away home

sun is up again you get another chance and then
rev up a million r.p.m’s but need a tow and then some limbs
you’re fucked

dollar up market down build for quick release
nothing comes frictionless ask the greeks
you’re all this pound on that always ill at ease
stand erect buy up front
swallow fly away home
fly away home
find a way home
find a way home
