Here, have a b-side - a home demo from 2015

lyrics

Breathe, rabbit, breathe,
Wide eyes and red teeth

Our gigantic enemies can’t follow us into the earth

Skin and fur and skin
Here in our homely hollow underneath their feet

While the waters all flow down
To the Southern, the Southern hemisphere

And the rivers run so loud the people block it out
Wearing wide-brimmed hats and shouting



Sleep, rabbit, sleep,
Sleep now the soil’s falling

We don’t have to fight: these are equatorial concerns

Do not heed the beat of marching feet above us

Some things never change



Like how fine young women die
In the summer, in the summertime

And grand old ladies die
In the wintertime, after Christmastime



When the world has turned again
And the oceans are still

Let’s stay, rabbit, stay
Under the skin of the earth

Pushing up my legs: here is a trunk in two

Wait to feel first rain
All on the soles of my feet
All on the soles of my feet
All on the soles of my feet
