Portugal The Man - How The Leopard Got Its Spots - Текст песни

Palms are fitted black, finely tuned
To triggers cause bodies that tremble

But this mud looks shallow from the beach
When we hide behind such ugly faces
And the dark eyed woman lifts her head
"Why do we hide behind such ugly faces?"

Child bearing games from the streets down to the shores
They're playing waterways open in an obscene gaping gasp

But this mud looks shallow from the beach
When we hide behind such ugly faces
And the dark eyed woman lifts her head
"Why do we hide behind such ugly faces?"

"Rally all your men there is work to be done"
Still we don't have the time for speaking out of place
He won't come down
He won't come down
He won't come down
He won't come down

When lengths of snakes match each silent syllable
"With eyes like these"
Face glistening with suspense of a scalpel blade,
Clockwork calculating surgical precision

But this mud looks shallow from the beach
When we hide behind such ugly faces
And the dark eyed woman lifts her head
"Why do we hide behind such ugly faces?"

"Rally all your men there is work to be done"
Still we don't have the time for speaking out of place
He won't come down
He won't come down
He won't come down
He won't come down
He won't come down
He won't come down
He won't come down
He won't come down

Palms are fitted black finely tuned
To stomachs swallowed whole that bayou

But this mud looks shallow from the beach
When we hide behind such ugly faces
And the dark eyed woman lifts her head
"Why do we hide behind such ugly faces?"
