lyrics

Stop
Why hesitate
when everything is poised to go your way?
It's foolish to assume that won't relate
if there are ears out

Many sized and shaped
Information is a hot commodity and
we've waited for this most patiently
with all ears out

but I can barely see you through
this rat's race that's appeared
a relay for our litter box

You've waited for those rats that sprung the leak
when it turns out it's your cats that learned to speak and
we've waited for this most patiently
with all ears out ears out

many sized and shaped
information is a hot commodity and
we waited for this most patiently
with our ears out

but I can barely feel you through
this rat's race that's appeared
a relay for our litter box

Somethin's got to give
and all of us is ''give'' if there's a part of me that
comes off when you say,
''Are you low? Are you low, Are
you low, are you alone?''

and somethin's got to give
and all of us is ''give'' if there's a part of me that
comes off when you say,
''Are you low? Are you low, Are
you low, are you alone?''

Somethin's got to give
and all of us is ''give'' if there's a part of me that
comes off when you say,
''Are you low? Are you low, Are
you low, are you alone?''

Do you ever sometimes psychically feel an album before it drops? Are you ever weighed down by this ungorgeous stage of life, and wish you could just take a tasty bite of a 100% sugar burger and drift to cotton candy memories? Well, I've got to be going now, but this is a wonderful album, and when the world gets harsh, we could all use a sugarburg now and again. Driftless
