Canaries In The Coal Mine Lyrics - Until The Horror Goes - John Congleton

There's an upside to your feeding tube 

We've arranged a humble birthday party for you 

But hasteful kittens sometimes spoil their food 

They tip the dish and they leave hungry tummies 

We will always be eating our own 

We will always wonder which side you're on 

In this universe each one of us is alone 

We will always be eating, always be eating our own 

Now there's an awkward form you assume 

Some new abstraction from your mother's fresh womb 

To cry in bathrooms worship garbage truths 

That which won't kill you will surely scare the fuck out of you 

Your plump fingers and fatty thumbs 

Will curl and circle, devour the young 

Canaries in the coal mines come alone 

No body comes back and no body comes home 

We will always be eating our own 

We will always wonder which side you're on 

In this universe each one of us is alone 

(No body comes back and no body comes home) 

We will always be eating our own 

We will always be breaking prisons 

In this universe each one of us is alone 

Nobody comes back, nobody comes home
