The Pelican Songtext
von Menomena

Take it
When I′m not looking
Take it from my hook while it's still kicking
Don′t you feel it, when I start reeling?
I guess some things never change
And I still hold the reins on what you're feeling
Oh oh oh oh
What you're feeling

Take it
When I′m enjoying
Take it from my mouth while I′m still chewing
Don't you feel it when I start pulling?
I guess some birds never learn
One day these tides will turn and leave you nothing
Oh oh oh oh
Leave you nothing


We′re poised to lock our
Horns up in some
Method crash us
We have failed it
On our own way
Have to settle
Solid cry and
Hold our heads on high

Stake it
When you feel threatened
Stake your claim on lands already taken
Don't you feel it, when I start throwing stones
I guess some birds never learn
One day these tides will turn and leave you nothing
Oh oh oh oh oh
Leave you nothing

Take it
