Clovis' Son - Josh Pyke

And I was in the corner

I was taking my medicine

And you were in the corner too

But I didn’t wanna share it with you

How are we ever gonna get any better

If we’re always in the same room?

We read she pulled out the tendons

And she set them on the river

Now we know that it isn’t true

We are only ever

Little sparrows on a mountain side

When the wind came up

And it blew away her footing

And it forced her into flight

So how are we ever gonna get any better

Under cover of the same night?

We read she pulled out the tendons

And she set them on the river

Now we know that isn’t right

I’m going to buy a sharper set of knives

So whose side are you on?

To set me loose like Clovis' sons

Their mothers bed to lay them on

Whose side are you on?

Caught up in the eye of

Every storm that passes through

If history is beholden to

A very different kind of truth

Then how are we ever gonna get any better

If we’re always in the same room?

We read she pulled out the tendons

And she set them on the river

Now we know that isn’t true

I’m going to buy a keener set of lies

And whose side are you on?

To set me loose like Clovis' sons

Their mothers bed to lay them on

Whose side are you on?

And maybe there has always been

Something in the corner hiding

The feeling as a child we had

There’s something in between the air

And even on the coldest night

I generate a heat inside me

And even with the tendon’s cut

There’s something in the corner hiding

In between the air

And whose side are you on?

To set me loose like Clovis' sons

Their mothers bed to lay them on

Whose side are you on?

Whose side are you on?

Whose side are you on?

I was in the corner

I was taking my medicine

And you were in the corner too

But I didn’t wanna share it with you
