Revert To Type (feat. Strings By Van Dyke Parks) Lyrics

Kristian Hoffman Revert To Type (feat. Strings By Van Dyke Parks)

When first we met, the barren snow bloomed just because we willed it so
This passion play was engineered, but when the mutant sheep appeared
Didn't I see you cry? Didn't I see you cry?

Chorus:
We sensed by scent that this brief sentiment was overripe
Don't cry my love, don't cry. As soon as we reject the graft we can revert to type
Don't cry my love, don't cry. No, no no no don't cry

Our serpent souls might stand erect, smug in the glow of that effect
But so miscast as leading men - how sweet to slither off again
If it was worth a try, why did I see you cry?

Chorus

What is the law? Our nature is to give up nothing but the ghost
What is the law? To go back to the island of Doctor Morose

Chorus
