[Verse 1]

There’s a peach on the tree

Won’t you shake one down for me

There’s a lie I want to believe

Won’t you make it true for me

And everybody says that he’s gone again

Is he around

I don’t believe a word they say

Everybody says it’s gonna get easier

I don’t believe a word they say


[Chorus]

In the walls there’s a subtle creature

In my sleeve there’s a subtle creature, love

In my hands there’s a subtle creature

In my hands

Ooh, it’s in my hands


[Verse 2]

You judgy little feline

You could never be mine

Guess you’re not good enough

You are not

And you hang on to it [?]

Hold on tight

You were not

What should I say

That you can never be mine

Guess you’re not good enough

You are not

And you hold on to it

Just like that

When you [?]

You were not

If there’s a low she’s not coming up

If there’s a high she’s not coming down

If there’s a ladder I’ll climb

Till I reach

Till I reach

Till I reach

If there’s a ladder I’ll climb

If there’s a river I’ll take sail

If there’s a box I’ll open it

Till I reach

Till I reach

And everybody says that it’s gonna get easier

I don’t believe a word they say

And everybody says it’s gonna get easier

I don’t believe a word they say, come on


[Chorus]

In the walls there’s a subtle creature

In my sleeve there’s a subtle creature, love

In my hands there’s a subtle creature

In my hands

Ooh, it’s in my hands


[Verse 3]

You judgy little feline

You could never be mine

Guess you’re not good enough

You are not

And you hang on to it [?]

Hold on tight

You were not

What should I say

That you can never be mine

Guess you’re not good enough

You are not

And you hold on to it

Just like that

When you [?]

You were not

Lights show me

Swift and blind

Red fur show me

Swift and blind

Swift and blind

Sex and heat and blue skies

A tiger’s eyes

A tiger’s eyes

So [?] and [?]

Swift and blind

Swift and blind


[Verse 4]

When I’m looking I don’t know what I am

When I see it I don’t know how

You could ask me if I know why they do it

But to tell you the truth I don’t know how

When I’m looking I don’t know what I am

When I see it I don’t know how

You could ask me if I know why they do it

But to tell you the truth I don’t know how

There’s a peach on the tree

And I know it’s for me

Happy who I wanna be

Feel a little complete

I never say never say a word

I keep swimming with a [?]

That’s not the dream I was dreamin till dark

I ain’t never quit like I’m a [?] come one

Never say a lie

I keep tripping round my own dark light

I trip trip when my laces is tied

I trip trip when my laces is tied

And clear is the color of my true love’s hair

I see my love everywhere

No need for looking glass

I’m looking past

I see my love everywhere

There’s a peach on the tree

And it’s me and I’m falling fast

I can see my love everywhere

I’m a [?] fuckin in the air

And I’m everywhere


[Verse 5]

When I’m looking I don’t know what I am

When I see it I don’t know how

You could ask me if I know why they do it

But to tell you the truth I don’t know how

When I’m looking I don’t know what I am

When I see it I don’t know how

You could ask me if I know why they do it

But to tell you the truth I don’t know how


[Outro]

Hold on, hold on, hold on
