The Found Family Blues (What Starving Animals Eat) Lyrics

In this community

Things are going altogether well

In this community

Things are going altogether well

In this community, in this community, in this community

Things are going things are going altogether well

No jerks allowed

A quiet place

No one rejected

No one turned away

The ritual

The welcome home

The kind of thing

You get it or you don't

So watch your tone

Normal denied

I sympathize

It will be re-supplied

It's common sense

It's common thought

So just be kind

It wavers then it locks

I smell an eggshell

Learns how to walk and

Talks pretty soft but

Moves like a cop, yeah?

Aesthetic pleasure

I aim for half-way

Targets and measures

If you could spend your day

Anywhere else, man

Would you be here? why

Would you be here?

If you could spend your day

Anywhere else, well

Would you be here? why

Would you be here?

Would you be here?

In this community

Where things are going altogether well

In this community

Where things are going altogether well

In this community, in this c-c-c-c-c-community, in this community

Where things are going things are going things are going

No jerks allowed

A quiet place

No one rejected

No one turned away

The ritual

The welcome home

The kind of thing

You get it or you don't

So watch your tone

Normal denied

I sympathize

It will be re-supplied

It's common sense

It's common thought

So just be kind

It wavers then it locks

I smell an eggshell

Learns how to walk and

Talks pretty soft but

Moves like a cop, yeah?

Aesthetic pleasure

I aim for half-way

Targets and measures

If you could spend your day

Anywhere else, man

Would you be here? Why

Would you be here?

If you could spend your day

Anywhere else, well

Would you be here? Why

Would you be here?

Would you be here?

Sooner than you understand

You will struggle to recall a

Point in time before you were

Dying to know me

You're dying to know me

I need you to like me, man

I'll do everything right

I am quick on the uptake

I am good conversation, I swear

I will be worth your time

I know it looks desperate, man

I'll stay as long as I'm allowed

I don't know what you've heard but I'm a decent investment

I swear - I will not weigh you down

If no one cares where you end up

You'd better make yourself desired

If you want a shoulder to cry on then

You'd best bes playing for the team

If you got nowhere else to sleep tonight

And best-laid plans backfire, god forbid

And the thought of going home rips your soul out your chest

And in your case, let's say that it should

You better make sure that you're part of the scene

If you want anybody out there to care that you're breathing

Tomorrow, you better look radiant

Better be fuckable, better stay mean

Cha waitin' for?

Cha waitin' for?

D'you call it a family?

Here now here now here now

Well, if you could spend your day

Anywhere else, here, now, now, bleagh

Well, if you could spend your day

Anywhere else, Huh? Huh? Here, now

Well, if you could spend your day

Anywhere else, then

Would you be here?

Would you be here?

Starving animals will eat

Each other first,

Each other first,

Each other first,

Each other first
