Lyrics Forever - Slaughter Beach, Dog

The Ancient Slug begins to breathe
She rounds the corner past my street
My founding father paved the way
For every son to do the same thing every day

We all have need
And mine will help me fall asleep
You in your room
I turn the blinds so we don't see our selves this time

Fall behind
Read my mind
Make your interests mine in time
(I cannot feel it anymore)

(The next morning I sit in the second row from the door and watch her reflection in the window as she counts seventeen sisters on her fingers-
Chelsea, Tisha, Tara, Marilyn--)

Oh Marilyn
You won't sit down
Take care of him
He needs discipline
Oh Marilyn
The drugs don't help
Chelsea left me all-
Alone

Fall behind
Read my mind
Make your interests mine in time
(I cannot feel it anymore)

Sleep unsure
Dresser drawer filled with XL T-shirts you wore
(I am your excess; your old pride)
