Mantis

Lyrics by：Courtney Barnett

Composed by：Courtney Barnett

Just got back today and I'm searching 'round the place

Looking for you-know-who but there's no sign yet

Singing auto-pilot days shining ultra-violet rays

On this dusty skeleton I feel akin on a cosmic level

I can see right through ya yeah I can read your bones

Just like a telephone book maybe I should give it up begin again

I am exercising how good it feels to be alive and

No surprises up my sleeve everything is temporary

Ooh praying mantis on my door

Looking for meaning or just any sign at all

Ooh organizing all my thoughts

Making them rhyme choosing wisely where I spend my time

Oh gimme midnight love again feeling somewhat alien

I'm floating aimless but got my feet concreted

Beneath this creature of habit teach me the magic of an

Extra ordinary day oh anodyne the time away

And there's no such thing as a perfect melody but I keep

Searching every morning in the trees

Ooh praying mantis on my door

Looking for meaning or just any sign at all

Ooh organizing all my thoughts

Making them rhyme choosing wisely where I spend my time and

I got my head sorted sort of

I keep going just because yeah just because

I got my head sorted sort of

I keep going just because yeah just because
