Generate meaning
1
we all woke up that morning,
2
claw marks on our little faces.
3
the dull thud from the treetops
4
the echo in the hollow places
5
rose up high and lonely
6
wringing my hands, grinding my teeth
7
all the triumph overhead
8
all the disaster underneath
9
spat out my morning prayers
10
desperate pleas and viscious lies.
11
felt the sunlight thugh the grating,
12
coverered up my eyes.
13
woke up feeling awful
14
shook my head to drive the ghosts way
15
this is just a flesh wound
16
and it will clear up any day.
17
but the present i got planned for you pricks,
18
is gonna be a little harder to fix.
19
thank god
20
for small favors
21
in high doses.
22
heard the voices through the air vents
23
listen to them squeal
24
the great big world is out there
25
the hidden one beneath my heel
26
called up my sister in reseda,
27
left a message at the tone.
28
all the points where contact fails us
29
all of the dead spots in the zone
30
and the acid in my throat
31
every time i try to talk
32
the songs that keep me up at night
33
standing on that solid rock
34
rose up high and dry and lonely
35
stumbled coming out the gate
36
this is just a paper cut
37
and it will scab over just you wait.
38
but the cuts that i'll shortly being dealing out,
39
are gonna give you something to cry about.
40
thank god
41
for small favors
42
in high doses.
