Menomena - The Pelican Lyrics

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 somethings never change
And I still hold the reigns on what you're feeling
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 back?
I guess some birds never learn
One day these tides will turn and leave you nothing
Leave you nothing

We're forced to lock our horns up
In some epic clash that we can't finish.
On our own we'll have to settle,
swallow pride and hold our heads up 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
Leave you nothing

Take it!
