lyrics

The lyrics...

If I could ask for anything
I'd love to hear the question again

Red lights and fist fight idols
(Adidas and a)
king hit with a crown of bullshit
(But can't you see me)
Straining to squeeze my brain through
(A glory hole)
Cause heaven has a cover charge
And hell is fresh out of ice
Drop out side kick
Leave me high and dry
Glass ceiling
Sowing seeds in the fields of waste I own

But did you see her in the outline
Burnt into the wall?
A nuclear collateral

Guillotines and it's so appealing
Did you see her in the outline?
Did you see her in the white skin, coloured in
Did you see it if you had time, to start
Could you see me if we blew ourselves apart?

(If I could ask for anything)
Don't push back or it'll push back

Can't you fucking see me calming down
But they're allowed to stay?
Misunderstood but we're all good
My bloody nose parade
Can't you fucking see me calming down
Iced up my ego bruise
This lead balloon is coming down
Ramble on in torn up canvas shoes

Can't you fucking see me calming down
But they're allowed to stay?
Just shadows on the cracking pavement

He Danced Ivy Brisbane City, Australia

Imagine if you will, Incubus sitting down to have tea with Jeff Buckley, when all of a sudden, Soundgarden burst into the room. Confused, Queens of the Stone Age tried to calm the situation, before being struck over the head by Violent Soho. Smashing Pumpkins smashed pumpkins, and halloween was ruined.
Thus, He Danced Ivy.
