Mosquitoes
Falling in and out of sleep, I've heard the rest of the world awake
When I get up the feeling is always the same, I wonder how much can I take
Do I have a mind for anything else? Do I have choices and spies?
There's only one way that I look at the world and I see it with my regular eyes
Look at the rake in his middle age, aping the gravitas
Look at my teeth and the spaces between and tell me what kind of ice cream I love
You and me, and the three of we, and the oligarchs
And the dogs that bark and the dogs that mark, we all have something that gets us up
We're the mosquitoes. We're sucking your blood by the hour
We're the mosquitoes. We have no respect for your power
Couples are made and corners are stained in living sweat and grace
With broken wings and broken eyes and everything else put in its place
Oh, I'm out
'Tis as luck to be born as to
Lay down
And look up at the stars?
We all have clouds coming out of our mouths
And guts between the two
On a perfect moonlit night, you can hear a party far away
If only one of us can make up our minds, then maybe it should stay that way
Or dip our bills and say in voices shrill, "There is no other way"
And toss away convention, for the better, the worse, or the same
Am I the kind of this who that?
If you knew it before then it's a matter of fact
The leather slapped around the last. I never saw it coming
You can lie you can cheat and you can rob
But don't give a flying bug like me a job
I can feel your lifeblood coursing through your keys
When you feel a pinch just slap your knee and say
Oh, I'm lucky
I haven't got a thing
When he came around and asked for money
I bleeped him with my key ring
Do I bother?
I do what I do to win
Ommatidia
Lay down your collars and let us in
We're the mosquitoes
We're sucking your blood by the hour
We're the mosquitoes
We have no respect for your je-ne-sais-quoi
I've got one little thing on my tiny mind
I want to get a little taste before I die
Thin our ranks with tape and fire, but in the end we always multiply
Shade our tiny bodies from the sky
I haven't got a thing in mind
Cover from the stars and sleep among the stings
Just as you are, and will be again
When I get up the feeling is always the same, I wonder how much can I take
Do I have a mind for anything else? Do I have choices and spies?
There's only one way that I look at the world and I see it with my regular eyes
Look at the rake in his middle age, aping the gravitas
Look at my teeth and the spaces between and tell me what kind of ice cream I love
You and me, and the three of we, and the oligarchs
And the dogs that bark and the dogs that mark, we all have something that gets us up
We're the mosquitoes. We're sucking your blood by the hour
We're the mosquitoes. We have no respect for your power
Couples are made and corners are stained in living sweat and grace
With broken wings and broken eyes and everything else put in its place
Oh, I'm out
'Tis as luck to be born as to
Lay down
And look up at the stars?
We all have clouds coming out of our mouths
And guts between the two
On a perfect moonlit night, you can hear a party far away
If only one of us can make up our minds, then maybe it should stay that way
Or dip our bills and say in voices shrill, "There is no other way"
And toss away convention, for the better, the worse, or the same

I haven't got a thing in mind
Cover from the stars and sleep among the stings
Just as you are, and will be again
