Frightened Rabbit
"FootShooter"

Well the booze in my blood runs fast and loud
And my brain shouts down to my mouth say whatever I think
Say it at him

And when the dam bursts open and your drowned out boy
Better go outside, sit in your boat and wait
Till you get washed away

Hold your thumbs, tighten your eyelids
Pluck up your ears we're doing it verbal but I am loaded
Duck under that desk, cover your neck
Picking your skin as I begin to shoot myself in the foot again

And as the voice succumbs and my mouth goes numb
I limp out to the sound of the breaking of broken toes
A vandal spoke
And in the stark and the sobering dry sunlight
I will blink my eyes and hope the blink can erase
All the shit that I said and did

Hold your thumbs, tighten your eyelids
Pluck up your ears we're doing it verbal but I am loaded
Duck under that desk, cover your neck
Picking your skin as I begin to shoot myself in the foot again

And if I shoot at you, you should shoot at me too
We can drown in the ghost of the thick dark words we throw
And if my face turns white
I apologise, I am sorry, it's not your fault
It's mine

Hold your thumbs, tighten your eyelids
Pluck up your ears we're doing it verbal but I am loaded
Duck under that desk, cover your neck
Picking your skin as I begin to shoot myself in the foot again
