NICU Lyrics



1st verse

Appendages flailing running at me, ferocious,

tenaciously clawing at me.

The devious gelatin holding me fast, miraculous now you

let me ooze past.

Over the wall rushing rivers of sleaze, the tip of

stalactites incising my

Knees.

A slipper of sand dollar day at the shore, the next

evening at home that I

Dread even more.

Chorus

Would you please make clear to me, I'm peering out

through your opacity.

Though you're rehearsed, tomorrow's verse, forgive me

if I don't sing your key.

2nd verse

Look back on those days when my life was a haze,

gelatin lay on a runcated sleigh.

Copernicus drank from a vessel that stank, from a

freemasons cranked to the overflow tank.

Bane of the weasel for biting is fun, jump on the

turnstile and watch me go round.

Swim with the cactus and float with the stone, I try to

convey what you strive to condone.

Chorus

Would you please make clear to me, I'm peering out

through your opacity.

Though you're rehearsed, tomorrows verse, forgive me if

I don't sing in your key.

Play it Leo!

Chorus

Would you please make clear to me, I'm peering out

through your opacity.

Though you're rehearsed, tomorrows verse, forgive me if

I don't sing in your key.

Would you please make clear to me, why nothing is the

first thing that I see.

And if you do, NICU , then you will be the nothing left

for me.

Would you please make clear to me, why nothing is the

first thing that I see.

And if you do, NICU , then you will be the nothing left

for me.
