With blood and feathers
On my torn paws
You ain't nothing but a dead duck
I ain't nothing but a hound dog.
You seep in the windows and vents.
I lay in the grass and I lose your scent.
If God gave me grace, then why aren't I graceful?
My joints are frozen, cold, old, and idle.
If it's by air
Then I don't want to know
If we all don't take cover
We're all gonna fall back in love again
You work late and fight off your boss
If the patient dies, take the night off
They worked out
All of the bugs
And if you have enough money
You can buy love
You work out your reception seating
While I sing, sing, sing
These ten lords still leaping
With the mark on your breast from your baby teething
Give him my name if he is needing.
If it's by sea
Then I don't want to know
If we all don't take cover
We're all gonna fall back in love again
"Bless your beautiful hide."
And curse your god when your friends die
If it's by air
Then I don't wanna know
If we all don't take cover
We're all gonna fall back in love again
You work late, fight off your boss
If the patient dies, then take the night off.
On my torn paws
You ain't nothing but a dead duck
I ain't nothing but a hound dog.
You seep in the windows and vents.
I lay in the grass and I lose your scent.
If God gave me grace, then why aren't I graceful?
My joints are frozen, cold, old, and idle.
If it's by air
Then I don't want to know
If we all don't take cover
We're all gonna fall back in love again
You work late and fight off your boss
If the patient dies, take the night off
They worked out
All of the bugs
And if you have enough money
You can buy love
You work out your reception seating
While I sing, sing, sing
These ten lords still leaping
With the mark on your breast from your baby teething
Give him my name if he is needing.
If it's by sea
Then I don't want to know
If we all don't take cover
We're all gonna fall back in love again
"Bless your beautiful hide."
And curse your god when your friends die
If it's by air
Then I don't wanna know
If we all don't take cover
We're all gonna fall back in love again
You work late, fight off your boss
If the patient dies, then take the night off.

i think it makes sense in context
"Bless your beautiful life
And curse your god when your friends die"
like you're thankful and religious and all that when everything's fine but if something goes wrong you immediately blame god you know?
Just my $0.02
*TORN paws

* bless your beautiful EYES
When I first came onto the sight, I wanted interpretations, not people fighting over silly things. Here’s my interpretation…
Love can be a dangerous thing
It’s like a vapor that could seep in from anywhere… just by air.
It’s not something that requires skill... the PEOPLE require skill and tact
They require sensitivity and grace… but he has none
He views the girl as a victim, caught in his jaws,
most likely because he knocked her up
she’s breastfeeding and working overtime… fighting for just one more hour
"David had always wanted to try Coca-Cola, after seeing it in many commercials and hearing about it from other children, but the sterilization process required to insert it into the bubble ruined the taste. After he exited the bubble, he requested a Coke but was turned down. His mother said "David had heard the word Coke so often on TV and from other children that he always yearned to try one. It was one of the first things he asked for when he was taken out of his bubble before he died. But the doctors decided he shouldn't have one in his frail condition"."
Upon reading that I immediately thought of this song. I doubt this was Jesse's inspiration for the song but the medical references in the lyrics do allude to it in my opinion and it is an interesting concept.
It also is "torn paws," I'm pretty sure I put that, someone might've un-corrected it... or I'm just crazy, lol.
The bubble boy story is interesting. They made a movie out of that, not sure if it mentions the coca-cola thing, but there are a lot of movie references in bn's music.
But, then again, you could have had an actual acoustic version, with how everybody records songs at shows and such. So Idk if I helped you out or not, lol.
