Verse 1
Am
Sticks, we pick up sticks
We pick up sticks and stones that get
thrown at these stick- up kids
Just kids, you know,
these kids can't grow
Pun is the nine in this,
so we pick up sticks for stick- up kids
Sticks, we pick up sticks
We pick up sticks and stones that get
thrown at these stick- up kids
Just kids, you know,
these kids can't grow
C

Without sunlight and grit, so for stick- up kids,
we pick up sticks

Sticks, we pick up sticks,
we pick up sticks
Sticks, we pick up sticks,

Ashley Wickavito
Casio carry pens by the God I know
Little Mario,
tortoise shell spectacles and monocles
Dima fitted spinning from ruby necklaces,
high polish
I ain't got a wallet,
just paperclips and newspaper clippings
Suggestion, newspapers,
missions overtaking the district
Far from pensive,
C
Am
emo tionally unstable
We're looking from grave to cradle
B- boy in me, head spin like a Dreidel
Tongue moves, the simplest sentences
Past the nimblest premises,
gods officiate the remnants
For the God divines the way the
spine is crooked
And hookers need a dinner mint
After Sunday supper out on
25th, part the lips
Force- fed monogamy since Bible
verses prefaced place settings
Silver spoon table, mahogany
Trouble knew Morse code,
tap tip- toed by proxy
Oxycontin levels maximize my runner's high,
honest, why?
No simple way around this elevation
Cliff running for young son,
darting out from undertow
D
Bury my opponents in a
Am
wave of exhalation
Ten ton flow,
American Bluebeard and Thunder Crow
D
Too much for these young minds
to handle
Am
Dismantle candles and start a circle,
D
wax around the artist

Trying to tell you what to do when
I never known nothing

Filler than a wet grass with lungs
full of petrichor
F#
D
What's a method? Fuck is a suggestion?
E
Look at the assumptions that snuck
into the questions
F#
I'm grown,
D
my dinner's vanilla cones
E
Am
Skeleton in closets, big, thick gorilla bones
And everything's encrusted
Like jewelry, or better yet,
chicken breast
E
Am
Quick pick, oral or written test
Which pick florals for vision quest?
A little warm depth
from Cassandra
Accompanying checks from a sponsor,
I'll text you a mantra
Inhale 'til your chest is enlarged
On your exhale, say "Jeff,
you're a monster"
I'm vexed in my own damn concerts,
this mic's dumb
I'm at the airport,
staring at my sliced thumb
Cookie face about to go

Verse 6
Uhh, those are bats
Permit me to save you, hold on
You'll get fed later
What if they really came out?
You'd really flip, right?
Okay
