The Lad Is A Reptile Lyrics - Mortimer Nova

and then for no reason at all, there's the cocked head of confusion 

vommiting a stream of consciousness, a conversation with your house pet 

discernable only in a state of mind trailing your instinct 

perpetuated by failure and sleep deprived insanity 

but then is it something we tell, something we've written down 

foreign screams too loud to silence, too hard to ignore 

set the house on fire 

the understood "we" of it all, sharing his mind with satan 

barking obscenities leading to desperate conclusions 

don't stop at that light, those signs aren't meant for you 

writing that list of regrets only leads to a single answer 

but then is it something we tell, something we've written down 

foreign screams too loud to silence, too hard to ignore 

set the house on fire 

tonight, it's raining flames 

no one lived and now i'm free 

the neighborhood gathered around making forked tounge accusations 

and those memories, so unsettling, pushed their way back into vision 

but then is it something we tell, something we've written down 

foreign screams too loud to silence, too hard to ignore 

set the house on fire
