[Verse 1]

The lion's just like me

He's a twin and I was a twin

Although, his twin grew up

So I must join the stage of awful singles ventilating

We head up to Vermont for a couple days



[Chorus]

You say the name of a state when horror's underway

So you might escape back to the place where horror stays away

Still, you might escape



[Verse 2]

Me, I'm just like my wife

She's a blade and I'm a dull knife

Turned up in a bouquet

And we get red for days

Soaking through our silk and unbathed

We head up to Vermont



[Bridge]

And I don't know whose call it was that I should share a life

With someone who resembles me and copies my speech

Down to every lisp and slur I practiced to put on

It's hard to keep a dialect when you keep changing where you come from



[Chorus]

And that's a place where horrors fade away

So you might escape back to a place where horrors fade away

Still, you might escape to the place when horror's underway

Still, you might escape back to a place where horror stays away

Still, you might escape



[Outro]

Guess I could just get set up with someone's got my given name
