[Verse 1]
Steel testing on
Long good mornings
We make our days
As our days make us
[Chorus 1]
Cutting the rabbit
Pressing skin
Selecting gear
Tearing about
Tearing about
[Verse 2]
In extravagant promises
Mysterious terrors thrive
Judgement dies
Into scenic affects
Yellow, it still shows
It still shows through
[Chorus 2]
Skinning the rabbit
Dressing the skin
Selecting an ear
Tearing about
Tearing about
Steel testing on
Long good mornings
We make our days
As our days make us
[Chorus 1]
Cutting the rabbit
Pressing skin
Selecting gear
Tearing about
Tearing about
[Verse 2]
In extravagant promises
Mysterious terrors thrive
Judgement dies
Into scenic affects
Yellow, it still shows
It still shows through
[Chorus 2]
Skinning the rabbit
Dressing the skin
Selecting an ear
Tearing about
Tearing about
