Once the hum stops, I’ll take the mold from your belly button And knit me a droopy pair of bunny ears I’ll wear on my heart to make it throb again Because you always have such rotten things to say But I’m so buzzed, I can’t hear them So I will bug your rancid body soon And I will memorize every souring flavor in my condensed milk As I tap into a clearer signal But our pulse will stop before the flies drop Like all the fruitless calls I make to you Their driveling buzz doesn’t thrill like before, so I’ve peeled back the skin from my fuzzy navel And looped it into a noose We wear around our sappy necks to keep our heads Because I’ve told you we’ve gotten too heavy But you’re too hung over to reach So we will ferment from the stem now And concentrate [on] ourselves to a pulp And no one will be there to hear us congeal Because our oozing flesh will rot beneath these buzzing ear muffs Till the dregs drop like flies to our grave
