don't gotta be the canary in my coal mine
rather you be the dove for my flood
there are other stephens for the chosen
don't be so masochistic, child
we won't believe you if you keep crying wolf
and when it comes, i'll take it on, and so will you, i know it
i don't need another father
my skin, it isn't made of plastic, my son
no need for sirens, i saw the smoke
silence your trumpet, the wind has come and gone
everybody sees we aren't so necessary
don't gotta be my canary
i wish you'd be my dove
we won't believe you if you keep crying wolf
i'm not scared
i don't need another father
my skin, it isn't made of plastic, my son
if there's a hole in your bucket
i've got another one in the shed
forget about the stones and straw and axes and all
don't be my canary
i wish you'd be my dove
don't cry wolf
i've got two eyes of my own
and i can them coming and i'm not scared

I'm a big fan of This Is My Suitcase. That being said, I'm very glad Mary Lynn has expanded beyond her previous band's initial sound. Mary finds herself in her music and flexes her chops as a very clever and deeply poetic songwriter. Grant Evan Nordine
