Lyrics for Wisdom Teeth Song

Thank you for letting us stay, sometimes I lose my mind But you know me, I always manage to keep what nobody needs Like when you'd rest your tanned hides against the door frame And the Black Walnut trees and the Sumac and Starlings were lost in the swell of the creek And I leaned back like a woman, baptized in the river of sticks Oh silly rabbit, sometimes everyone gets tricked The Museum of Natural History with its new blood and fur and ivory Left me wanting to know so much more of this world But you know me, I always manage to leave what I most need Like when the ice broke and the lake, it did swallow you whole And the Black Walnut trees and the Sumac is gone and the Starlings fled From the East And we're caught in the drifts now but we're headin' to Mexico City
