Mantis

Lyrics for Mantis

Just got back today And I'm searchin' 'round the place Lookin' for you-know-who But there's no sign yet Singin' autopilot days Shinin' ultraviolet rays On this dusty skeleton I feel akin on a cosmic level I can see right through you, yeah I can read your bones just like a telephone book Maybe I should give it up again, again I am exercising how good it feels to be alive And no surprises up my sleeve Everything is temporary Ooh, prayin' mantis on my door Lookin' for meaning or just any sign at all Ooh, organizin' all my thoughts, makin' them rhyme Choosing wisely where I spend my time Well, give me midnight love again Feelin' somewhat alien I'm floatin' aimless But got my feet concreted Beneath this creature of habit Teach me the magic of an Extraordinary day or anodyne the time away And there's no such thing as a perfect melody But I keep searching every morning in the trees Ooh, prayin' mantis on my door Lookin' for meaning or just any sign at all Ooh, organizin' all my thoughts makin' them rhyme Choosing wisely where I spend my time And I've got my head sorted sort of I keep goin' just because, yeah, just because I've got my head sorted sort of I keep goin' just because, yeah, just because
