Somethin's Killin' Somethin' Outside...

Somethin's Killin' Somethin' Outside

Mr. Belief,
A bold prediction, but it just might come to pass...
You're such a lucky lad to have that lass,
You don't deserve 'er, but then who deserves who?
One head's a level under two...

Somethin's killin' somethin' outside!
As it should be, so undignified...
Somethin's killin', somethin' outside!
Overthinkin', now your brain's fried...
Somethin's killin' somethin' outside!
Undercover, in broad daylight...
Somethin's killin' somethin outside!
1am 'til after midnight...

That's what you said to yourself in the kitchen,
Another regular day. Hey, hey!
Communication between His creatures,
The wings of panic were flappin' away...
It could've been an afternoon in August,
Or was it December or Feb?
You had a vision of shedded feathers caught in a spider's web...

Made ya go blind, and now you're needin' a guide,
It left you salivatin' achin' inside,
Compressed and squashed by the pressure applied...
You've been re-murdered by your bride!
That feline streak of lust for lives,
It's makin' you break out in hives,
But now they're givin' you high fives!

Somethin's killin' somethin' outside!
Lovin' act you're ripped appart by...
Somethin's killin', somethin' outside!
Shrug it off and watch the paint dry...
Somethin's killin' somethin' outside!
Standard practice, stuff to describe...
Somethin's killin' somethin outside!
Never let it ruin your vibe...

You represented yourself on the pages,
But then, the pigeons came home to roost...
It took a second, but it couldda been ages,
Your confidence needed a boost...
Of course, they hate you with a passion!
At least the one chick got to hatch...
They said the dinosaurs went extinct...
I think you've met your match!

Mrs Discreet,
Imagination. Not for the faint-hearted!
There's some discussion that's started about the times you partied outside your sexy skeleton...
Inside the new translation, your love is radiation...

Somethin's killin' somethin' outside!
Can't be altered, can't be rectified...
Somethin's killin' somethin' outside!
Just ignore it and find a place to hide...
Somethin's killin' somethin' outside!
Maybe next year, at least you tried...
Somethin's killin' somethin' outside!
Now the punters are electrified...

You know, you're only a voice and a vessel,
A simple tool for the narrative,
It's rock n roll, but it's too much hassle,
The origins of the phrases we give...
And now that all that remains is an egg
and a handful of MP3s,
You realise that it all served a purpose, amongst the birds and the bees...
