lyrics

Jungle Judges
By Adelaide Štolba

Verse:
Burn a hole in the ceiling
You don't know what you need
Told you once that I would never leave
Your smiles a desert of grimaced canyons and boneyard teeth
Silver acres stretch me out for miles
You know your organs stretch the same way, same way
Taken out and split apart
Sordid pout and custard tart

Chorus:
The jury's sitting in a back room
Contemplating making your words true
They arrive and sink us into lies
You rise scales on your thighs

Come on sell it to me
An offer I can't defuse/Make me believe it like the truth
Won't you whisper my defence to the crowd so tense-
Don't you want to be a free man again
Master of more than your own silence

The jungle judges wear robes of gold
And tigers rest their heads upon their brocade folds
Pink walls
And bars that make you weak
If only you and I could speak

Verse 2:
Find your feet in a landslide
I fall to my knees
So, you got the steady hands of a paramedic
I got the restless hands of someone that just might get what they need
Never too bitter for me and I never too bitter for you
I can recognise that blood will stain
Until you say that life is built on pain
and the dumb stay that way
Until the numbers change

Chorus
