Summer Cutting Kale by The Pica Beats Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Where'd you get that manner of speaking out the side
Of your mouth, of your mouth, of your mouth?
Where'd you get that laugh, you know it cuts me right in half
Every time I get stung get it out
I'll wait to see that you're not some secret police
I'll wait to tell that you're not some faux Bakelite
[Pre-Chorus]
And how long will your bangs hang down
'Til you at last cut the curls from your crown?
And every lock that will drop to the floor
It's not your face but it's your voice I adore
[Verse 2]
Where'd you get that poise, despite all the noise?
It'll rest on my hand like falling rocks
Got a recent fool and he'll always follow you
He goes down on the bed and on the cot
Our breath will brawl like some ancient scroll that is all
Our breath will brawl like some birch bark trees in the fall
[Pre-Chorus]
How long will your hands stay cold?
Even as they move to protect every fold
And as it spreads to the corners of the room
You'll wake up strong for a long afternoon
[Chorus]
Gotta reach her with the green and gold that's been sold down
Gotta reach her with the green and gold that's been sold down river
[Verse 3]
What'd you get per soul I had slept, you had stole
Did they pay what you'd hoped they would pay?
Was it bits of fun posing as a lung
As the rest of the swan suffocates?
I'll piss and moan 'til the unpaved roads guide you home
I'll split in two 'til you're wound so tight in sweater's silk
[Pre-Chorus]
How failed was that verse that never nailed?
The overcast and the summer cutting kale
At first sign of a drought and coming rain
We'll flow with rivers on our raft of sugarcane
[Verse 4]
Where'd you get that manner of speaking out the side
Of your mouth, of your mouth, of your mouth?
Where'd you get that laugh, you know it cuts me right in half
Every time I get stung get it out
I'll wait to see that you're not some secret police
I'll wait to tell that you're not some faux Bakelite
[Pre-Chorus]
And how long will your bangs hang down
'Til you at last cut the curls from your crown?
And every lock that will drop to the floor
It's not your face but it's your voice I adore
[Chorus]
Gotta reach her with the green and gold that's been sold down
Gotta reach her with the green and gold that's been sold down river
Gotta reach her with the green and gold that's been sold down
Gotta reach her with the green and gold that's been sold down river
Gotta reach her with the green and gold that's been sold down
Gotta reach her with the green and gold that's been sold down river
Where'd you get that manner of speaking out the side
Of your mouth, of your mouth, of your mouth?
Where'd you get that laugh, you know it cuts me right in half
Every time I get stung get it out
I'll wait to see that you're not some secret police
I'll wait to tell that you're not some faux Bakelite
[Pre-Chorus]
And how long will your bangs hang down
'Til you at last cut the curls from your crown?
And every lock that will drop to the floor
It's not your face but it's your voice I adore
[Verse 2]
Where'd you get that poise, despite all the noise?
It'll rest on my hand like falling rocks

Our breath will brawl like some birch bark trees in the fall

You'll wake up strong for a long afternoon

Gotta reach her with the green and gold that's been sold down
Gotta reach her with the green and gold that's been sold down river
