This song is one last burst of sporadic energy between (and in sharp contrast to) the calm of “Beautiful Way and the much-anticipated closer, “Debra”. Its psychedelic sound and image-laden lyrics are enhanced by a variety of outlandish sound effects that really set it apart from the rest of Midnite...
[Verse 1]
The countryside is overgrown
There's a lighthouse in her soul
Wrestling with butcher girls
She don't ever change her clothes
[Chorus]
Masterpieces liquidate in fertile tears
I could sleep inside her bones a hundred years
Lizards in the pressure zone
Mother knows it's only a phase
[Verse 2]
Cherry gardens feel like ice
Hazard lights from her past
Underneath the broken bridge
Hookers hug illegal dads
[Chorus]
Masterpieces liquidate in fertile tears
I could sleep inside her bones a hundred years
Lizards in the pressure zone
Mother knows it's only a phase
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Masterpieces liquidate in fertile tears
I could sleep inside her bones a hundred years
Lizards in the pressure zone
Mother knows it's only a phase
[Outro]
It's only a phase, it's only a phase
