Neko Case - Wild Creatures lyrics

When you catch the light you look like your mother It crushes me some just right from the side When you catch the light there's a flash of wild creatures For the stone age of the preachers and the husbands and the wives When you catch the light flood changes direction and darkens the lens that projects my disguise As you file along side you'll discover my weakness I'm not fighting for your freedom I am fighting to be wild sponsored links Hey little girl would you like to be the king's pet, or the king? I'd choose odorless and invisible but otherwise I would choose the king Even though it sounds the loneliest And my brother's hands would poison me Hey little girl would you like to be the king's pet, or the king? I'll choose odorless and invisible but otherwise I would choose the king Even though it sounds mal-odious There's no mother's hands to quiet me.
