about

Recorded and Produced by Jesse Manou at The Other Families Recording Company

lyrics

You are crab mandibles, sorting particulate.
A spasm of god’s electronic certificate.
You are the red flecks in my breath.
I love when you shudder and blood from the udder goes down down down
My esophagus.

This is xylocan. Xylocan can.
This is black hair dye. Xylocan can
Make you numb, I love that stuff, medical miracle
And me, well i look great in disguise.
(I love that guy).

Crush, Crushing up pills while we watch my favorite movie
crushing up pills and dilute in yogurt smoothie
crush, crushing up pills, why are you flexing on me
crushing up pills and then I get them in me (gimme!)

Carried out wild, I’m a rough rider
oh, oh, buried in a childproof container, cuz this cuz this is xylocan

And Carried out wild, I’m a jet fighter
oh, oh, who of you can sever my helicopter limbs from my head!

You’re an animal, that makes y’ innocent
a cannibal, carnivorous and
cruel but pure. A little pill I cannot
swallow, so can’t be cured.
Oh, oh, oh

Set fire to the schools and homes around
spit fire on each woman and man

I said, Set fire to the schools and homes around
spit fire on each woman and man

And dance, on the emptied land
‘cause this is xylocan

This is xylocan.
This is black hair dye.
Spearmint gum. Hollow hands.
They do battle in the sky.

Cuz the body isn’t normal.
You can’t make the body normal.
You live in it all your life.
Inviting visitors to come inside.

No the body isnt normal.
You can’t make the body normal.
I wanna touch you, give you time.
Then pull you closer, you’ll feel my size.

I can see you
In the darkness
Hiding under the porch stairs.
That’s not the way honey!

I can see you, ooo-oo-ooo ooo-ooo-oo-ooo-ooo

Cuz the body isn’t normal.
There’s not one of us that’s normal!
But you’re perfect, in my eyes.
Indescribable, identified.
