pass me to your shoulders 

keep me dry and warm 

keep me high and normal 



cause i'm riding in 

your strut and 

lying in your gutter 

drunken and confused 

ready for abuse 



so let your earth quake, baby 



push me to the ground and 

break my ears of sound 

i have never heard 

i have never deserved 



keep me deaf and muted 

slap me til i'm stupid 

i'm dying for your hand 

i'd die to understand 



so let your earth quake 

go ahead and break me 

my skin invincible 

you can't phase me 



i will take whatever 

you give me 

if you pour i'll be the sieve 

and i will filter just to live 

so let your earth quake 

baby you know me 

i surrender completely 

and slowly 



i'm feeling like a genius 

i pound the wall 

i've built between us 

my hammer tears 

with my come 

i will repair 



i deposit what i've felt 

in the winter i can sell it 

it grows in the cold 

until the soil is eroded 



so let your earth quake 

go ahead and break me 

my skin invincible 

you can't phase me 



i will take whatever you give me 

if you pour i'll be the sieve 

and i will filter just to live 

so let your earth quake 

baby you know me 

i surrender completely 

and slowly
