Patricia Taxxon
With My Tail to the World
[Verse 1]
You would know me If you saw me on the road
I'm imposing
I'm explosive
I'm precocious
I'm the most
I'm a roving rolling presence
I'm a lesson of the coast
I've sung this song before
By now you're certain how it goes, but!
[PreChorus]
Can you sing along?
I don't hold you to the best, but can't you
See the lines and dots?
Don't you feel as if you're missing something?
Do you understand?
You think you know the mistress well
You see me as I am, but...
[Verse 2]
I'm a skeptic of the senses, I don't think you've broke
The terror found in relishing pretention
I don't think you've spoke
To any of your charactеrs, purveyors of your barriers
The scariеst it gets is far behind the world you know
So!
[PreChorus]
Can you sing along?
She was looking like a summer can't you
See the lines and dots?
And in turn beget the sun within her
Do you understand?
You think you know the mistress well
You see me as I am, but...
[Chorus]
Can you see me with the lights off?
The quale I brought to class?
Articulate the beauty of a flower held behind my back?
Face down, ass up
Represented in the black auditorium
We're telling stories of a blasphemous auritor
Is the fur still succulent and downy in the mind?
Face down, tail up
Feel it jostle in your hand
It's the beauty of a flower held behind my back
[Verse 3]
I'm that doggie in the window of your church
Every Sunday you could see me if your muzzle formed the words
Think absurdly in the evening, think concretely by the dawn
Think along the lines you recognize, but never dared to walk
[PreChorus]
Can you sing along?
I don't hold you to the best, but can't you
See the lines and dots?
Don't you feel as if you're missing something?
Do you understand?
You think you know the mistress well
You see me as I am, but...
[Verse 4]
Can you sense the gold within a friendship saved?
Can you lens the lurid lines belied inside On A Clear Day?
Can you grab the squalid square laid bare amongst a Desert Rain?
Can you nab the stained stripes entwined a meek Untitled 8?
I say!
[PreChorus]
Can you sing along?
She was looking like a summer can't you
See the lines and dots?
And in turn beget the sun within her
Do you understand?
You think you know the mistress well
You see me as I am, but...
Can you see me with the--
(Music Break)
[Chorus]
Can you see me with the lights off?
The quale I brought to class?
Articulate the beauty of a flower held behind my back?
Face down, ass up
Represented in the black auditorium
We're telling stories of a blasphemous auritor
Is the fur still succulent and downy in the mind?
Face down, tail up
Feel it jostle in your hand
It's the beauty of a flower held behind my back
