[Verse 1]

Driving through an empty plain

The desert took me far away

The biggest nuisance, morning heat

My tent's barely bigger than me

Hear the dirt and hear the howls

Pretend that I'm not hurting now

I'm by myself and this is fine

But my voice starts not to feel like mine

[Pre-Chorus]

The quiet knocks, I say, "Come in"

It's just a tent, undo the zip

I drove a while, I might go to bed

But you can stay here if you're scared

[Chorus]

And I would swap these hands for paws

Dirty fingernails for claws

Don't care about the dirt or fleas

Leave behind all human parts of me

[Verse 2]

Sunrise so beautiful, I cry

And emotions are not things that I like

Remember it's a diesel tank

Otherwise you're out of bank

Try to surf when you find the coast

Can barely swim, sink under and choke

Stay under there, don't try to breathe

My biggest fear is redundancy

[Pre-Chorus]

Pink skies and early nights

Wish I could see the Northern Lights

Mate, can't you just be satisfied?

Can't look my rear view in the eye

[Chorus]

And I would swap these hands for paws

Dirty fingernails for claws

Don't care about the dirt or fleas

Leave behind all human parts of me

[Bridge]

Drive past signs, be scared of home

I love this heat and red dust place

Haunted by fucking dingoes

They're calling me, I want to stay

[Chorus]

And I would swap these hands for paws

Dirty fingernails for claws

Don't care about the dirt or fleas

Leave behind all human parts of me
