Small Poppies

Courtney Barnett

7

I stare at the lawn, it′s Wednesday morning

It needs a cut, but I'll leave it growing

All different sizes and all shades of greenSlashing it down just seems kind of mean

In a way, it′s a shame you get away thinking it's just a game

Who am I to deny myself a pawn for you to use?

At the end of the day, it's a pain that I keep seeing your name

But I′m sure it′s a bore being you

I don't know quite who I am, oh, but man, I am trying

I′ll make mistakes until I get it right

An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye

I don't agree with that, why can′t we just talk nice?

Oh, the calamity, I wanna go to sleep for an eternity

Who am I to deny myself a pawn?

Oh, the humanity, I wanna disappear into obscurity

But I'm sure it′s a bore being you

I don't know quite who I am, oh, but man, I am trying

I'll make mistakes until I get it right

An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye

I used to hate myself, but now I think I′m alright

I don′t know quite who I am, oh, but man, I am trying

I'll make mistakes until I get it right

An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye

I dreamed I stabbed you with a coat hanger wire
