Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks
"Pencil Rot"


There's a villain in my head
And he's giving me shocks
Save me from me, save me from me

His name is leather mcwhip
And he needs to be stopped
Fly above me, fly above my roam
Fly above me, fly above me

Well I never had much of a lovely goal
Leave me halving, halving ever

It's like my mind's been touched
Though I never was born
please deform me, please deform me

Let me out
Of my head
In my bed
It's a lovely leather brown poison

LyricsNo more shine
With the frame
Of a brain
It's a lovely leather brown poison

It's pencil rot!

He catered to
the second and weakness of
Everybody had a second love
that make you want to come on

Thought my mind was a spinner and
it never was down
I swayed around the kids and found my head in love and tried to phone home

She saved me, saved me
saved me, saved me

I'm here to sing a song
a song about privilege
the spikes you put on your feet
when you were crawling
and dancing to the top of a
human shit pile, shit pile

Somehow you managed to halucinate
something that was on all of their minds
all of their minds

And other people see themselves
in you and i can see them
in you to

In my head, there's a bed
It's all made.
It's a lovely leather bound poison

No more ghosts
when the most
i was wrong
was a kitchen's on

leather bound poison
get your brown poison
get your brown poison

It's Pencil Rot!
