Regina Spektor - Chicken Song lyrics

rate me

Stop jerkin off and eat your chicken baby

It's like a colony of hungry ants down here

So I keep dancing with this deadweight round my ankles

And it thickens every time I turn away

There's something spartan in the way we choose our battles

There's something spartan in the way we cast our stones

It takes a bit more than a kiss for the princess to awaken

And a bit less than a fuck for her to stay awake

So dont go away

Be my view for today

I just wanna see something lovely as I look outside my window it's

It's like a system here

Another day, another year

Another joke, another beer

And I'm sleeping through

Stop jerkin off and eat your chicken baby

It's a free country

We can be elitist if we want

They say if we phrase it right

They'll eat it off our fingers

And if we don't well then they won't

The astrologers look at a sky and point their fingers

And the philosphers look down at us and point their toes

Is it the way we close our eyes?

Is it our hair?

Is it the breathmints?

You know we speculate

But in the end do we really know?

So don't go away

Be my view for today

I just wanna see something lovely as I look outside my window, it's

It's like a system here

Another day, another year

Another joke, another beer

And I'm sleeping through

(lots of ahs and oooooos)

Stop stop stop stop .........

Stop jerkin off and eat your chicken baby

Its like a colony of hungry ants down here

So I keep dancing with this deadweight round my ankles

And it thickens every time I turn away

There's something spartan in the way we choose our battles

There's something spartan in the way we cast our stones

It takes something more than a kiss for the princess to awaken

And a bit less than a fuck for her to stay awake

So don't go away

Be my view for today

I just wanna see something lovely as I look outside my window, it's

It's like a system here

Another day, another year

Another joke, another beer

And I'm sleeping through

Don't go away

Be my view for today

I just wanna see something lovely

Man, I just wanna see something lovely

It's like a system here

Another day, another year

Another day, another year

Another day, another year

Another year, another year, another day

And I'm sleeping, I'm sleeping

I'm slippin through my fingers
