Archaeopteryx Tango Lyrics

Cicatrix

All we are is bones and skin

Dancing like an archaeopteryx

I'm not sure of where to begin

So many ghosts

Cramping my style

Pulling my hair in frowned on shapes

Everyone else

Unhauntedly

Obliviously unconstrained

So sorry boys

I'm petrified

Like it's a fundamental fact

Too flawed to flow

Too sad to glow

To rearrange my atoms

Fly, fly like you're in mortal danger

Freeze, freeze like an enormous glacier

Lock, step, unlock, misstep

Cicatrix

All we are is bones and skin

Grab onto the air and pull it in

Archaeopteryx tango

Slight malfunction

It's nothing to beat yourself up for

Plimsoles squeak the vinyl floor

From the back of the bar

Some staccato beats lost on their own

Wings rise

Tail fanned

Flightless

But you feel like a million rehatchings, rehatchings

Muscles contract

To the beat of dropped pins

At the tempo of tuts from the crowd

Fingers

Strafing

Ground pound

Jump as high as the planet will allow
