Foreign Creature

from Sunburnt Shadows by Polygon Palace

/

lyrics

The caves it came from no-one really knows what lives down there
But the ones who found they would never understand how the beast was rare
They took a comb took a knife, cut the claws started brushing it's hair...alright
Gave it clothes, gave it shoes, now they wonder why nobody seems to care

Know that's what's holding you down
When you paint by numbers
When you colour between the lines
This monster's tame
Break open the strange
Let loose a foreign creature

Jump back that's what's holding you down
When you paint by numbers
When you colour between the lines
This monster's tame
Make way for the strange
Let loose a foreign creature

After several weeks of dead press releases they gave up hope
They turned the thing loose as they had no use for a beast that wouldn't amaze
It ran through the streets on, to fields and the creeks, gone to find its way home
To a place where the wild things play

Don't stop, I never meant to come here alone
We'll stay holed up
Till the city's overgrown

All the cards are coming down
Trade fame for fur and feathers
You'll find nothing of the same kind
Believe the warnings, you will change your mind in time

It's like the only clue showing through will be buried in the sand
You'll keep on losing the words you choose
Taken from your hand
Release the things you drew out of you
They will run across the land
Form a tribe and a totem new and grow into a clan
