Sweet salamander
Full throttle
like an axolotl binding my throat
Assuming control
You're the pilot of my aircraft
and I'm crash landing with you
Oh, sweet salamander
Why do you make my tongue so mean?
Sweet salamander
Bottled up
like a beer begging to foam over
Assuming the worst
but the worst never arrives
and I'm crash landing on you
Oh, sweet salamander
Why make me wait for nothing?
Sweet salamander
Uplifting
like the technicolour in my engines
Burning up my nerves like a fever dream
Awakened to my paranoia
Assuming the days are long
but the sun barely rises anymore
and we crash land in the dust
together.
Oh, sweet sweet salamander
How are you still a part of me?
