lyrics

1. Awkward Animals:

We are two continents
Two coastal shelf islands
With neighbouring tectonic plates
You're sending me along your good vibrations
And I'm getting the shakes

We are true sturgeons
Two big city pigeons
Two ugly ducklings made good
Two plasters stuck upon one lingering question
'Remember when we both were doves'

Now it all falls wherever my love

Someone get God on the phone-
Cry out awkward animals; cry out

Weird doves
Hearts sort of mangled
Our stumps
Point out at obscene angles
From the place where they're installed
With time we get so tangled up
They can't ever pull us taut

Someone get God on the phone
Cry out awkward animals
Cry out

Weird doves
Ardent, we fan out
We show up
More out of habit than hope now
As we scour out the land
Now we know there's no real true love
We'll take the closest thing you have

Someone get God on the phone
Cry out awkward animals
Cry out
