Carnivore

You've told me maybe a thousand times
A smart girl would've recognized
There isn't any business in the street

But some nights, Daddy
I catch you wrapped up tight like a sleeping bag
You're softly twisting a pinata suspended out of reach

But I know with one good slap
I could take care of that
But who wants to loose the beast of spring?

I guess it started off slow
But it's picking up speed
And it's gaining on me
Like a carnivore

Daylight catches me by surprise
Almost every night
And kicks my way another hole to sleep

I guess it started off slow
But it's picking up speed
And it's gaining on me
Like a carnivore
