Undrowned
Everything Everything

First, boy, I think you should know

If you try hard then you might get a part as a

Doe-eyed impressionist mime

Bare as the lives of the footballers' wives that

Surround you, their diamonds aloft

A system of pistons archnid and blistered

A billboard, a murder of crows

While princes fly drones that can see through your bones, and the

Wind stops, the temperature drops

And harpies melt through you like horses to glue

I believe you, but not what you say

To close it around til you're scorched and undrowned, they

Devour you in tottering heels

And who wants the Falklands and who wants the Balklands

I love you, just like a bank

There's so much to talk about that we don't talk about

Boy

Trust in me

I fell

She said it fills me with dread

The people in Parliament don't know the half of it

Please, son, it's only a sport

The fate of a ball don't enthrall me at all

So relax, here, go through it again

Who have you seen knows what all of it means

I fell down, down

Then I

Saw a billionaire

With all his innards nailed

To the walls, to the walls, to the west

Don't fear it now

But don't stop asking

Hey, man, you're probably right

It's not a galaxy made for a guy like me

Birdless, the edge of the world

The edge of my memory, some kind of energy

Burned up and frittered away

Bile in the gutters and gout for a god

But I'm lawful, I kept my head down

I turned a blind eye and I played my cards right

I'm in debt, man, I've waited too long

I bought all the right things, I've thought all the right things

I'm lonely, I don't know myself

I thought there was something I'm waiting for something

Oh down

Down

Don't leave...

Don't leave...

Don't leave...

Don't leave...

(To the walls, to the walls, to the west)

Don't leave...

Don't let me down5
