Putting pennies on the track, shiny and flat,
Bm G A Bm G A
It was the best we could be, sexy and free
Bm G A Bm G A
I grow away from myself with each passing bell
Bm G A Bm G A
With all these new accessories, I just stumble and bleed

I put my hands down deep in my pockets

As my body awakes

You tied a knot and you dared me,

The stem of a cherry,

To find my own humanity

And just let it breathe

Keep myself from fading away

Pull my hands out of pockets and

Feel my body awake
