Omar Rodríguez-López
Oil the Shoe If the Critter Knew Any Better
The balconies of the hotel, lay still waiting for us
Asking God for our return, dusk will only know
When will you be able to grow another inch?
Listen to the llama's words and eat your vegetables

[BRIDGE]
You know I never tried to hurt you
I know I tried to heal your pain
This sudden satisfaction has only given you
Another tremendous reason to push me away

[Chorus]
You know it's not that easy for me
To kill my animal
Cover it up, cover it up, with oil!
Cover it up, cover it up, with shoe wax...

In this beat up house we've been feeling so alone
Every single second's creeping, you're finally at age
When will you be able to see my father's face?
Listen to his midnight stare and take him out to dine

[BRIDGE]
The dead have never tried to scare us
You think they tried to take your soul
This sudden satisfaction has only given you
Another tremendous reason to push me away
[Chorus]
I know it's never been your kind of game
Giving you nothing back!!!
Cover it up, cover it up, with oil!
Cover it up, cover it up, with shoe wax...

The high end tail of Papa's nest
Who claws the shell of all our fear
The more they snitch, the more their cyst gets kissed
Grew up a gentle mouse, you've been feeling so enraged
Every single second's creeping, you're finally at age
When will you be able to face my Father's words?
Haunted by his midnight shade and take him out of mind
I feel the winder in your smile
Burning my kisses, will... cover him up...
