Come to the free for all
with sello-tape and knives
some of us 6 feet tall

conquering myself until I see another hurdle approaching
say we can, say we will, not just another drop in the ocean

Am I the happy loss
D/G

A
when the dirt is off

conquering myself until I see another hurdle approaching
say we can, say we will, not just another drop in the ocean

spare us the cutter

cut and cover
the man mustard

conquering myself until I see another hurdle approaching
say we can, say we will, not just another drop in the ocean

watch the fingers close
when the hands are cold

Am I the happy loss
will I still recoil
when the skin is lost
am I a worthy cross
will I still be soiled
when the dirt is off
