Spend Your Gift Well Lyrics

For my birthday

I'll take my favorite form

A big dog in the bright air of the morning

Good boy, go on and bring it back

And by sunset you're running up a tab

In a falling circle

A molten lie

Will you spend your gift well

Will you even try?

At the party here comes my anxious twin

We share the same face

But mirrors for his skin

He's always barking: are you sharpening the rainbow however you can?

Because you know how easily Mother Water forgets her covenant

In a falling circle

A molten lie

Will you spend your gift well

Will you even try?

You're a minor player

You're a drop in air

Still the breathless question:

Will you even try?

Will you even try?

Will you even try?

Will you even try?
