Meaning
Lyrics
- Red brush
- washing up
- look I made america
- hush hush
- don't don't rush
- and don't try to care too much
- brown wine
- turpentine
- somethings musn't be combined
- sleep now
- never fear
- all your animals are here
- counting sheep
- I lay me down to sleep
- but I see a sheep that will not leave
- from the back they catch him in a trap
- hit his head and send him off to bed
- cutting by numbers is kinder
- invest in one with a silencer
- all of the studies say if they're
- calm when they die then they taste better
- cutting by numbers is kinder
- invest in the one with the silencer
- all of the studies say if they're
- calm when they die then they taste better
- goodbye
- olive sky
- I am crying all the time
- there there
- don't despair
- we will find your sheep somewhereâ¦
