raising the skate
Singer:speedy ortiz
have mercy on the hypnic jerk you blame for your speech
walk around the block again
wait till i feel cool and straight
with a diaristic bent on undertaking
on the tip and fit to execute
you better have an awfully big boat
holding a package from a total stranger who claims to know me
you just glimpsed your own reflection in a gold sheen
well-composed with keys to raise the skate
you better have an awfully big stone
we could hang out for the summer while you wait for your girl
dip a toe till it's soaked and freezing
but just because i let you kill time dangling me from the quarry
doesn't mean that i won't land on my feet
that's 'cause i'm the boss
she who's running from the stampede
