Hinkypunks Lyrics

Take this body I don't want it anymore

Walk the mire till I'm stuck

Friar's lanterns and hinkypunks

Body odor, backwoods, roach, skunk

Is that me it's coming from? 

Is the earth rotting? or is it me?

Forgotten whimpers, misery

Mystery lies somewhere ahead of me

Through these swamps, putting in heavy work

Explore new worlds like Captain Kirk

And I seen those kingdoms in the sky

To reach them is my enterprise

 But I am rooted in the soil

Tethered by a mortal coil

Restrained by the bog, I never chose to be loyal

Awaken from slumber to a struggle

No I did not book this jungle

But your fire shines to me

So call me king Louie

I wanna be like you

won't you cut me loose ignis fatuus? 

Here we go again, the fear and wonder

Wonder when my mind won't spin, whirlwind

No ballad to command the gales hitting these bows

Not even King of Red Lions could help me now

Hundred-acre wood morph to east of shire

All sides, hemmed in can't win for my desire

Shed skin, bash bone, cut car

No piano, no guitar

Forget the phone

Make me shade, take the body

Don't want it anymore

Along the face of the sun I wanna soar

Make me a willow before I hollow

Got no time left to borrow

Soul turning dark, bonfire fade to embers

In the hearth as I'm pleading for a spark
