Sleeping Lessons by The Shins, off their album: Wincing the Night Away!

Go without 'til the need seeps in
You low animal, collect your novel petals for the stem
And glow, glow, melt and flow
Eviscerate your fragile frame

Spill it out on the ragged floor
A thousand different versions of yourself

And if the old guards still offend
They got nothing left on which you depend
So enlist every ounce of your bright blood
And off with their heads, jump from the hook
You're not obliged to swallow anything that you despise
See, those unrepenting buzzards want your life
And they got no right as sure as you have eyes
They got no right

Just put yourself in my new shoes
And see that I do what I do
Because the old guards still offend
They got nothing left on which we depend
So enlist every ounce of your bright blood
And off with their heads, jump from the hook
You're not obliged to swallow anything you despise

omg. those words... and the music.... wow! that's all i can say. excuse the language in the post title, but it really is just a great fkn song. that's all i can say. great fkn song. the kind of song that makes you want to stand in a beautiful and natural grassy field with your arms spread wide and just spin and watch the sky. here's a link to a live video, and the music video, it's the best i can do atm. listen to it and tell me what u think.
