Regina Spektor - Chicken Song lyrics

Stop jerkin off, and eat your chicken baby It's like a colony of hungry ants down here So I keep dancing with this deadweight round my ankles And it thickens every time I turn away There's something spartan in the way we choose our battles There's something spartan in the way we cast our stones It takes a bit more than a kiss for the princess to awaken And a bit less than a f** for her to stay awake So dont go away Be my view for today I just wanna see something lovely as I look outside my window it's It's like a system here Another day, another year Another joke, another beer And I'm sleeping through Stop jerkin off, and eat your chicken baby It's a free country We can be elitist if we want They say if we phrase it right They'll eat it off our fingers And if we don't well then they won't The astrologers look at a sky and point their fingers And the philosphers look down at us and point their toes Is it the way we close our eyes? Is it our hair? Is it the breathmints? You know we speculate But in the end do we really know? So don't go away Be my view for today I just wanna see something lovely as I look outside my window, it's It's like a system here Another day, another year Another joke, another beer And I'm sleeping through Stop stop stop stop ......... Stop jerkin off, and eat your chicken baby Its like a colony of hungry ants down here
