From the album Substrate Vibrations, available at https://spudbugs.bandcamp
I only eat off my silver platter
if it's been inlaid with gold
and given to me by a hired servant
whose penance keeps them from the cold
this silver spoon has corroded my tongue
can't keep these words imprisoned in my lungs
I'll never acknowledge the damage I've done
just give me my diamonds, first wipe off the blood
pull my teeth when they start to chatter
and pick from them silver and gold
and throw them down with those lots that you've cast
until you've taken from me everything I own
this silver spoon has corroded my tongue
can't keep these words imprisoned in my lungs
I'll never acknowledge the damage I've done
just give me my diamonds, first wipe off the blood
