Originally released on the album `Taser Revelations' on Song, by Toad Records June 2016.

lyrics

I'm running when
I'm fast asleep
you'd never cradle me
you'd never make me
feel so cheap

The only time
I'd ask you to
is if I stayed awake
inside the tangerine

Sometimes when I get close enough
to see the fruit divide in two
at last! I'm caught legless
in the court of a pessimist

Give me all you can
and work for nothing in return
y'know, you're such a shirker!
And then declare
just what you earn
Your phantom billions
is what we all deserve

Sometimes when I get close enough
to see the fruit divide in two
at last! I'm caught legless
in the court of a pessimist

You never think about
You never think about
You never think about
this life
or next lives

Watch your money filter through
into our laundry room
We'll casually design
your doom
As if we've nothing better do!
Your phantom billions
is what we all deserve

Sometimes when I get close enough
to see the truth divide in two
at last! I'm caught legless
in the court of a pessimist

You never think about
You never think about
You never think about
this life
or next lives
