The Phantom Limbs - Castanets Cookie

CASTANETS COOKIE

get your
castanets cookie
‘cause everyone’s looking
drink, dance and get nookie

don’t press on the flesh
of the next one’s bet
it’s a tail
spinning round
right into the net

bent over backwards
your box just got
knocked

and the trollops will talk

‘cause their hangers are bent
forever walking side ways
and stepping into cracks
time to knock em back

get your
castanets cookie
‘cause everyone’s looking
knock em back and get nookie

you’re getting soaked
in the games you invent
it’s a tail
spinning round
right into the net

bent over backwards
you’re reeling and hooked

when you’re feeling the looks

get to you right through the glass
arms of octopi grab on to you
you’ll be heading to the sack
it’s time to knock em back

cancel it cookie
they’ll forget about you
when the morning comes
when the cement grins come down on you
you wanna wolf that smile right
off their face
hand-crafted crack-up game
dont’ wanna wake up the same way
but you can’t wash it all away

i know i know cookie
you can cry and cry and cry
you can cry and cry
but you can’t wash it all away
