Close Me Up
I was in a gravity trap in the office
Getting sucked down through a six foot hole in the floor
My desk going all transformer, gonna flip its lid
And come back as a pine box baby I’m sure
And you’re right there in the doorway and I know…
I know I can’t be dead because there won’t be no angels where I go
Perched on a heron leg you’re asking me now ‘Is this a memoir’
And I say ‘Baby no, not yet’
That would imply the end, looking back
I hear that round the way a lot these days and I say fuck that
In fact, just open it up, I think you’ll find
A pretty accurate transcription of every word you and I
Said, never said, meant to say, didn’t
Tried to get to carry a weight it just couldn’t
The only thing that keeps me alive is every time you walk away
You never once ever ever said goodbye
I think what I actually said was just something like
‘Just something I thought maybe you would like’
Jealousy killed the cat
Curiosity found out where the cat was at
And passed it on to jealousy
I don’t even know if the cat is a he or a she or The Cat in the Hat
Yeah, it’s still a catastrophe
Everyone in Othello needed to die, just in the reverse order
This is why I gave you a book of empty pages
The reason is you are the writer
The reason is you are the writer
The reason is you are the writer
OK, close me up
Smooth, sophisticated pop with neoclassical flourishes from the Berlin-based duo of Fabian Till and Birk Buttcherey. Bandcamp New & Notable May 2, 2024
I've been enjoying the Bats since Daddy's Highway. They keep doing what they do and I keep enjoying what they do. What else can I say? Bat's entertainment? tideracer
