Black market firework I’m on fire, it’s the sixth of July

Of all the goddamned rooms I coulda walked into
I chose the one with your light
Here come the little monsters of the summer

They’re dressed and groomed
Sneering like a high school punk band

Plugged into the wall in the living room

Molly Freeze shaved her head in a manic panic

And drove her shitty car to the sea

A few years later, so did Rocky Dean
The thrill is the joyride and all joyrides must come to an end

And all the King’s horses and all the King’s men
couldn’t put me back together again

Teach me how to love and defend
and I will never again take this all for granted

Teach me how to love and defend
and I will never again take this all for granted
Fluoxetine honeymoon, getting drunk on a schoolbus
with Marshalltown punks

And to be clear and for the record, I love where I come from

The thrill is the joyride and all joyrides must come to an end

I feel like I’m teetering, can they put me back together again?

Here come the little monsters of the summer

Fake lashes, Mickey Mouse boots

Here come the little monsters of the summer

Sneering like a high school punk band

Plugged into the wall in the living room

Can you see the traces …

In The Shadow of Ingredion

Invocation

I’ve got a scarlet letterbox, and a crown of thorns
I’ve got a singing feeling, about someone I adore
Making the cup of tea, I am the war (In the lovely light of day) …
