The Onion

from The Onion by Lail Arad

lyrics

calendar hung on the wall
keep calm and carry on
it says to the hall
all those numbers and squares
a casino at work
my bet's on tomorrow
we could all use a perk

oh the onion of opinion stings my eyes
and the layers of love take me by surprise
will you teach me the words, stay by my side
my feet are so tired tired tired tired tired

night-shift spread on my skin
but it still seems to peel
i guess its too thin
or its just the season
and i am a snake
shedding my sins
wipe me clean as a slate

oh the onion of opinion stings my eyes
and the layers of love take me by surprise
won't you teach me the words, stay by my side
my feet are so tired tired tired tired tired

you and i we don't go way back
but i picked a card
and you held the pack
let's sing for the jokers
and queens of this town
they're keeping me up
i need to lie down

oh the onion of opinion and the layers of love
sting my eyes, take me by surprise
teach me the words, lay by my side
my feet are so tired tired tired tired
