MX Missiles
(Andrew Bird)
Those that will judge will say you’re aloof but you know the truth is a seed
You know what you need is a conflagration cause when i see your blood
And the bits of your broken tooth it gives me the proof that i need
It’s the proof that you bleed and it’s a revelation, yeah, it’s a revelation, it’s a revelation
I thought you were a life-sized paper doll propped up in the hardware store
Propped up on the front lawn watching the parade of the legionnaires with 2/4s marching off to wars
I didn’t know what you were made
Of color of your blood
What you’re afraid of
Are you made of calcium or are you carbon based
Cause if you’re made of calcium i’ll have to take a taste
Calcium is deadly, but tender to the tooth but it’s one sure-fire way to know if you’re mx-missile proof
Or if you’re just aloof and you were in the ground in late november
Though the leaves and earth were damp
Did you think they would remember
How you almost made state champ and when you’re running for the game against alfonsus
And you fell up on the ground and chipped your tooth that might really have surprised us to learn that maybe you weren’t really mx-missiles proof
