[Doughnut Song]
Boys for Pele
liner

had me a trick and a kick and your message
well you'll never gain weight from a doughnut hole
then thought that I could decipher your message
there's no one here dear
no one at all

and if I'm wasting all your time
this time
maybe you never learned to take
and if I'm hanging on to your shade
I guess I'm way beyond the pale

and southern men can grow gold
can grow pertty
blood can be pertty
like a delicate man
copper to steel to a hinge that is faltered [1]

that let's you in let's you in let's you in
something's just keeping you numb

you told me last night
you were a sun now with your very own

devoted satellite
happy for you
and I am sure that I hate you
too sons too many too many able fires

and if I'm wasting all your time
this time
I think you never learned to take [2]

and if I'm hanging on to your shade
I guess I'm way beyond the pale


^Background Lyrics^

[1] You can tell me it's over
It's over
You can tell me over
over my shoulder
You can tell me it's over
It's over
Come in, Houston

[2] You can tell me it's over
It's over
You can tell me over
over my shoulder
