According to Oh Pep!’s website,
A sense of light and dark stitches together the tapestry of Stadium Cake, continually bringing a sense of tension to each song. It’s heard in the texture of “Tea, Milk and Honey,” as Hally sings with sparse accompaniment before the delayed entry of the band.
Take time, take all the time you need
Take time, or you won't succeed
Worry about your health sometimes
Take time, take all the time you need
Take time or you won't succeed
Take time and worry about your health sometimes
Don't ever run when you can't walk
Heard you were yellin' before you could talk
Thinking twice will lead you into a bad place
You got to move fast to win
No space for time, no time for space
I ain't got what the human race needs, no
I won't contribute to your polluted transaction
I've got places to be that ain't right here
If you stick with me, I'll make sure your time is alright
If you don't understand where I am now
It's better if we leave it
Oh, why, why don't you just walk to the hill with everyone
We're goin' now
Why don't you come, I've been thinking about it
I've been worrying about it
Don't you get it, I've been fretting
I talk about her with my best friend
She says it's your loss
You don't know what you got
I know that you do, that's what scares you
Why don't you forget about it?
Go on, somehow we won't ever talk about it no more
Don't you get it, I've been fretting
I talk about her with my best friend
My baby talks at a mile a minute
She sings like a church with a choir in it
She shoots for the moon to land in the stars
And wakes up heavy with a sunken heart
Thinking twice will lead you into a bad place
You got to move fast to win
No space for time, no time for space
I ain't got the human race needs
My baby runs ten miles to win it
She moves like her body's got a fire in it
She makes me swoon when she walks in the room
She wakes up early and she leaves too soon
My baby talks at mile a minute
She sings like a church with a choir in it
She shoots for the moon to land on the stars
And wakes up heavy with a sunken heart
She don't read the news on the TV
Tea, milk and honey never satisfy me
She won't read the news on the TV
Tea, milk and honey never satisfy me
She won't read the news on the TV
Tea, milk and honey never satisfy me
She won't read the news on the TV
Tea, milk and honey never satisfy me
She won't read the news on the TV
Tea, milk and honey never satisfy me
She won't read the news on the TV
Tea, milk and honey never satisfy me
She won't read the news on the TV
Tea, milk and honey never satisfy me
She won't read the news on the TV
Tea, milk and honey never satisfy me
Just breathe, no need
To leave
I swear it was all in the plan
If you don't understand where I am now
It's better if we leave it
