Licorice

Thumb under skin like a clementine
Pealed in one piece, I've been practicing
Holding my breath till the floods arrive
I've grown gills and I've grown older
Ruby's packed up, coming home again
Dazed 'n confused in Los Angeles
Imogen lights up a cigarette
Your head gently on my shoulder

And everything's coming up licorice
Isn't it

I’m asleep so you’re taking the long way home
Baker Croons on the radio
"I only know what I know" and I know
You know how it goes

And everything’s coming up licorice
Yeah, everything’s coming up licorice
Isn't it so sweet it's just selfish
How everything’s coming up licorice
Isn’t it, isn’t it, isn’t it

So sweet, so sweet, so sweet
So sweet, so sweet, so sweet
So sweet, so sweet, so sweet
So sweet, so sweet, so sweet

How everything’s coming up licorice
(So sweet, so sweet, so sweet)
Yeah, everything’s coming up licorice
(So sweet, so sweet, so sweet)
Blooming out like jellyfish
(So sweet, so sweet, so sweet)
And everything’s coming up licorice
(So sweet, so sweet, so sweet)
Isn’t it, isn’t it, isn’t it

So sweet, so sweet, so sweet
So sweet, so sweet, so sweet
So sweet, so sweet, so sweet
So sweet, so sweet, so sweet
