[Verse 1]

When I chip through your candy coating

You're stuffed with insulation

Just strawberry ice cream floating

With a sprinkle of indignation

Cherry under knot of shoestring

Conflate and agitate


[Pre-Chorus]

You're a plimsoll punk

You're a plimsoll punk


[Chorus]

And you're gettin' me down, gettin' me down, gettin' me down

Gettin' me down down down, you're gettin' me down

Gettin' me down, gettin' me down, gettin' me down

Plimsoll punk


[Bridge]

Your posture's blocking out any possible light

I can hardly see

This conversation spirals into a fight

I can barely breathe


[Verse 2]

Who ran from Roman candles

Underneath a willow weeping?

Do the tealights on your mantel

Illuminate that summer feeling?

You're the seashell in my sandal

That's slicing up my heel


[Pre-Chorus]

You're a plimsoll punk

You're a plimsoll punk


[Chorus]

And you're getting me down, gettin' me down, gettin' me down

Gettin' me down down, down you're gettin' me down

R-r-r-racking my brain, trying to escape, getting me down

Plimsoll punk

Plimsoll punk


[Bridge]

Your posture's blocking out any possible light

I can no longer see

This conversation spirals into a fight

I can barely breathe


[Chorus]

Gettin' me down, gettin' me down, you're gettin' me down

Gettin' me down down down, you're gettin' me down

Gettin' me down, gettin' me down, you're gettin' me down

Plimsoll punk

Plimsoll punk


[Outro]
