Flying Fox and the Hunter Gatherers — Autumn lyrics

Lyrics

So you be a boxer, and me, I’m a dancer
I will show you my moves
Will you show me your speeding fist?
If I’m bleeding off a turnbuckle
Do you prance 'round your victory ring with kisses?
(la la la la)
It’s the way of the world
We are bound by the war that divides
I’d stay out of that war by your side
You be a Lion, and me, I’m an antelope
I’ll scamper away, cross the sunny Serengeti
Will you give chase? Will you wear out my legs
For another day, and another race?
It’s the way of the world
We are bound by the war that divides
I’d stay out of that war by your side
Now who’s done the worst things they ever will do?
Darling, I have in a dream and I did them to you
Though we fall out a window, yeah we rupture our spleen
The worst parts are hidden, they’ll never be seen
So you be a doctor, and me I’m a witch-woman
How many nipples could Lucifer have
Might you have miscounted? Yes, you might
It’s the way of the world
We are bound by the war that divides
I’d stay out of that war by your side
So take these bloody paws and my leather gloves
This maliciously blunt finger tip
This crude hosanna crying out
As I press this rotting wine to your lips
There will be no war in the world
Save in this violent slumber
