Avocado, Baby

Lyrics

There's no box to tick for red so I put down blue instead
 'Cause it's closest there's to grey in the categories
 And the veins within the whites are a statement of demise
 Doe eyes, you should stay at home licking batteries
 And I feel like I'm the host of a terrible game-show
 And the guests on today's quiz are celebrities
 Won't respond to any clues, they're just cracking jokes for views
 But the answers to these questions mean everything
 I had a friend who had made a flag day
 Blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak
 I have known friends to crack from love's weight
 Blossom in ribcage, until their backs break
 Oh, it won't get better
 That doesn't mean it's gonna get any worse
 You'll finally draft a life-long love letter
 Signed to the man who will be driving your hearse
 ♪
 Salacia's in the depths and if I avoid the nets
 Threaten, "I'll cuckold you, Neptune" for definite
 Meet between the dog and wolf with the hoarfrost underfoot
 And I'll show you every fire in Delphinus
 A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy
 That's why they call me the avocado, baby
 A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy
 That's why they call me the avocado, baby
 May she who casts the first fist of dirt across the casket
 Have mourners lick the mud from her fingernails
 'Tween the breadth'a your arms span, I was a renaissance man
 Books of lies stacked either side, you were my carrell
 I had a friend who had made a flag day
 Blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak
 I have known friends to crack from love's weight
 Blossom in ribcage, until their backs break
 I had a friend who had made a flag day (A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy)
 Blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak (That's why they call you the avocado, baby)
 I have known friends to crack from love's weight (A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy)
 Blossom in ribcage, until their backs break (That's why they call you the avocado, baby)
 Oh, it won't get better
 That doesn't mean it's gonna get any worse
 You'll finally draft a life-long love letter
 Signed to the man who will be driving your hearse
