The Tortoise
Don't feel a sense of urgency for much
My blood, it makes me colder to the touch
But no matter how endangered I may be
My 13 shields will save me. Lucky me
Safe in the peace of my terrarium
Afraid to make a move, the species: done
And even if on my back you got me
I would just flail around so helplessly
Capture me. Watch me die
Soak me in formaldehyde
Just so you can see what is inside
Capture me. Watch me die
Soak me in formaldehyde
Just so you can see what is inside
You drink your tea and wear your many hats
I wish I'd race your rabbit, not my rats
But know that I, at least, will never drown
And behind your world it's me all the way down (down down down down)
Capture me. Watch me die
Soak me in formaldehyde
Just so you can see what is inside
Capture me. Watch me die
Soak me in formaldehyde
Just so you can see what is inside
Capture me. Watch me die
Soak me in formaldehyde
Just so you can see what is inside
Capture me. Watch me die
Soak me in formaldehyde
Just so you can see what is inside
My blood, it makes me colder to the touch
But no matter how endangered I may be
My 13 shields will save me. Lucky me
Safe in the peace of my terrarium
Afraid to make a move, the species: done
And even if on my back you got me
I would just flail around so helplessly
Capture me. Watch me die
Soak me in formaldehyde
Just so you can see what is inside
Capture me. Watch me die
Soak me in formaldehyde
Just so you can see what is inside
You drink your tea and wear your many hats
I wish I'd race your rabbit, not my rats
But know that I, at least, will never drown
And behind your world it's me all the way down (down down down down)
Capture me. Watch me die
Soak me in formaldehyde
Just so you can see what is inside
Capture me. Watch me die
Soak me in formaldehyde
Just so you can see what is inside
Capture me. Watch me die
Soak me in formaldehyde
Just so you can see what is inside
Capture me. Watch me die
Soak me in formaldehyde
Just so you can see what is inside
